The blue-winged teal is a species of bird in the duck, goose, and swan family Anatidae. One of the smaller members of the dabbling duck group, it occurs in North America, where it breeds from southern Alaska to Nova Scotia, and south to northern Texas.

Blue-winged teals are named for their upperwing covert feathers—meaning, feathers that cover the bases of the flight feathers—which are powder-blue in color. These feathers can only be seen when the ducks are flying. Male blue-winged teals have a slate gray-blue head with a white crescent in front of their eyes.
