Paul Pedersen found an apparent Cinnamon Teal at the East Landfill =
Reservoir
west of Rochester just before noon today.
Thanks to Paul's call, Chuck Krulas, Jeff Stephenson and myself were =
also able to view the bird
before it flew southeast with a group of three Blue-winged Teal.
The birds flew over the dike and appeared to be cutting their wings
as if they were going to land when they disappeared from view.
A quick search of the immediate area along 19th St NW produced no =
positive results.
We didn't see any markings on the bird that suggested it was a hybrid
but one can't be too careful, we've had two hybrids here in the past =
couple years.
(And doesn't that open up another kettle of fish!)
The easiest way to get to the Reservoir from "the cities" is:
US Hwy 52 South to
US Hwy 14 West to
60th Av W (Olmsted County Road 104).
60th Av W north for one mile to 19th St NW.
19th St NW west for one mile to 70th Av NW.
70th Av NW for 1/2 mile.
The reservoir will on your right.
The bird was working the reeds on the south side when it was observed.
