From Meredith Sampson:2/06/13 - Old Greenwich, Binney Park -- male COMMON (EURASIAN) TEAL seen and              photographed at about 1:00.  Seen again at 5:30 w/ Cynthia Ehlinger.              Parking allowed only on Arch Street which runs along the backside of the park.              Teal was near stone bridge where a small group of Mallards hang out.  Views              are to "die for" as the teal was only about 10-12 feet from shore, apparently              and amazingly oblivious to presence of passersby and dogwalkers.
