WILDLIFE DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE
WILDLIFE SPECIES: Anas crecca | Green-Winged Teal
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION :
All three green-winged teal subspecies occur in the northern hemisphere
during summer and in winter extend to northern South America, central
Africa, southern India, Burma, and the Philippines. In North America,
ssp. carolinensis occurs across the continent and is joined in the
Aleutian Islands by ssp. nimia, which remains there throughout the year.
Anas crecca breeds in Iceland, Europe, and Asia. It is also seen
occasionally during the winter in North America along the Atlantic Coast
[1,9].
The American green-winged teal breeds from the Aleutian Islands,
northern Alaska, Mackenzie River delta, northern Saskatchewan, Manitoba,
Ontario, Quebec, and Labrador south to central California, central
Nebraska, central Kansas, southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ontario,
Quebec, Newfoundland, and the Maritime Provinces [1,4].
The American green-winged teal winters from southern Alaska and southern
British Columbia east to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and south to
Central America. It also winters in Hawaii [4,10].

PLANT COMMUNITIES :
Green-winged teal are abundant in wetlands of the Canadian parkland and
northern boreal forest associations. They occur more often in
mixed-prairie associations than in shortgrass associations. They also
inhabit arctic tundra and semidesert communities [1,9].
Within the above associations, green-winged teal commonly inhabit
wetland communities dominated by bulrushes (Scirpus spp.), cattails
(Typha spp.), sedges (Carex spp.), pondweeds (Potamogeton spp.) and
other emergent and aquatic vegetation [1,4]. Green-winged teal
frequently nest in grasses, sedge meadows, or on dry hillsides having
brush or aspen (Populus spp.) cover [9]. Near Brooks, Alberta,
green-winged teal nests were found most often in beds of rushes (Juncus
spp.), and in western Montana most nests were located under greasewood
(Sarcobatus spp.) [1].
