Greetings birders.=20
Karol Gresser and I refound the eclipse (molting?) plumage Cinnamon Teal =
around 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon at 140th Marsh in Dakota County. We =
scanned the far (north) shore of the pond for a half hour before we =
found the bird. We located the bird only 3 minutes after another =
gentlemen (didn't get his name) left after futilely searching himself. A =
scope is a virtual necessity.=20
Compared to the Blue-winged Teals, Mallards, Pied-billed Grebes, and =
Coots that frequent the pond, the bird is not hard to differentiate: it =
is small, still has an entirely cinnamon-hued torso and the unmistakable =
Shoveler-like bill. I'll let those more expert than I sort out whether =
this bird is a hybrid.
We also stopped briefly at the Empire power station on 210th Street in =
Dakota County, just west of Co Rd 81. We found Dickcissels, Western =
Meadowlarks, and the usuals, but no Mockingbird.
