Breeding male Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors) are brown-bodied with dark speckling on the breast, a slaty-blue head with a white crescent behind the bill, and a small white flank patch in front of their black rear. Females and fall plumage (eclipse) males are a cold, patterned brown. In flight, they reveal a bold powder-blue patch on their upperwing coverts. Blue-winged Teal nest among grasses or herbaceous vegetation, and forage in summer in shallow ponds or pond-marsh mixes. Blue-winged Teal feed by dabbling—dipping their bill into the water, submerging their entire head, or tipping up to reach for prey or vegetation deeper underwater, rarely diving. They eat aquatic insects such as midge larvae, crustaceans, clams, and snails as well as vegetation and grains. Blue-winged are the second most abundant duck in North America, behind the Mallard, and are long distance migrants, with some birds heading all the way to South America for the winter.
The container is a camouflaged jar with a log and small trading items. You will need to bring your own writing instrument. There is plenty of parking on the wide road shoulder. I would recommend doing these starting from the north.
