Helpful Teal Hunting Tips:
• Blue-winged teal have blue patches on the upper surface of their wings. Shovelers also have blue
patches on their wings, but have an enlarged bill and are larger in size.
• Teal tend to fly in tight, compact flocks. Their flight is rapid and appears erratic.
• Female teal have a raspy, rapid call while males have a single note "whistle."
• Teal will readily decoy, so use them to bring birds in closer to aid in identification. Pass shooting is not
recommended.
• Teal prefer shallow waters, such as those commonly found in the Rainwater Basin area and along
shallow margins of ponds, lakes and reservoirs.
• Look for areas with lots of mud flats and sparse vegetation.
• Contact the nearest Game and Parks office or visit OutdoorNebraska.org for information regarding
hunting on state recreation areas during this season.
