Thanks to Martha for the link to the very interesting article on the duckDNA project. I thought it was interesting that the bird identified as the offspring of a northern shoveler and a blue-winged teal × cinnamon teal hybrid was banded. I did some more research and found it was sick and rehabbed for a year in Nevada before being released back to the wild and killed in California.
