Tuesday Teaser 033010 (Updated)
We shot this photo late one rainy day last week of a distant duck. We were thinking it was a Blue-winged Teal, but a sharp-eyed reader suggested a female Greater Scaup. (Sounds good to us; thanks, Rosemarie.) Any other theories?
Other Tuesday Teasers are here. As we get into bird-banding season, we'll try to ramp up this feature again.

For most people, several spots managed by the Meadowlands Commission come to mind – from Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus to DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst to the Kearny Marsh.
But for the past few months, a little-known two-lane road named Disposal Road just might hold the crown.
