Cinammon Teal at the Cape

[Calibogue]

We killed a cinnamon/blue wing hybrid last year at BI West. Beautiful bird.

I love to see a pic demonstrating what made it a hybrid in appearance?

As rare as cinnamon’s are over here it would seem to make sense that you would kill more hybrids.

Well, they' re accidental here, and they don' t breed anywhere near here, so I don't see why we would see an inordinate number of hybrids. As closely related as they are, I'm sure they hybridize to some degree where their ranges overlap. I have no confidence at all in my ability to recognize such a hybrid, unless it had a blue head with a crescent, and a red body.

Very cool. Cinnamon is hopefully on the menu next week

[GMAC]

Yeah. Like that.

I know that it's been at least fifteen years ago. I was at West Bank, in Jacksonboro, and a fellow pulled up to the dock with a drake.

So they go back where they belong with all the others of their kind during breeding season?

My brother used to see one or two regularly in the waters around Patriot Point golf course.

What's with it's coloration, or lack thereof?

It’s coming out of its summer molt and isn’t fully plumed out yet

Hasn’t developed winter plumage yet.

[Relentlous]

That’s not a cinnamon teal
