They are commonly found in wetlands, marshes, and shallow lakes across North America and Eurasia during the breeding season. These ducks primarily feed on aquatic plants, seeds, and invertebrates. They are migratory birds, often traveling long distances to find suitable habitats. The Green-Winged Teal is a popular species among birdwatchers and is often seen in waterfowl hunting areas during the fall and winter months.
