The Green-winged Teal is North America's smallest dabbling duck with green iridescent patches on its head and wings. The Green Teal duck is almost 14 1/2 inches long with a wingspan of 24 inches. The males and females have different patterns and coloring. Males have a brownish red head with a green, crescent-shaped patch running through the eye to the back of the head, and take off by flying straight up from the water .
