Red Band: Quebec

You’re a Green-winged teal!

Illustration of male and female Green-wing teal

You were banded by a Conservation Officer near the Rupert River, in the North of Quebec, one summer.

Fact: Green-winged teal are tiny but can fly 70km per hour - faster than a car in the city!

Your parents arrived here in the spring to nest. After mating, your mom laid you and seven other creamy-white eggs on the ground in a nest hidden by thick grass. Soon after hatching, you followed your mom to look for food at the beaver pond – a type of wetland. You loved to eat small invertebrates, seeds and plants from along the water’s surface.

Once you’d grown your flight feathers it was time to migrate south. Each year, you winter in Massachusetts, U.S.A.

Download your certificate here to share with your friends and family.

because they nest in remote northern habitats, green-winged teal numbers continue to be healthy
