Cinnamon Teal in Hennepin County
0000-00-00

'Rare Regular' in Minnesota

Sue Plankis found a male Cinnamon Teal on the east side of one of the more easterly ponds of the Bass Ponds of the MN Valley Wildlife Refuge. It was prominent with its head and body of reds, dark bill, and the couple of creamy-buffy feathers on its back. It flushed once from the edge of the cattails as I got too close and saw its wing flash of blue and bit of green. It was hanging out with Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shovelers and Coots.
