Cinnamon Teal

Big Creek State Park

entrance of Big Creek into Big Creek State Park lake in Polk Co.
|
wetlands - entrance of stream into lake, area contained mudflats, marsh (cattails) and open water
|
The documentation form by Hank Zaletel is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include John Robinson, Paul Martsching, Dick Mooney and Pauline Mooney. | Elimination of similar species: Since the bird was the same size as a Blue-winged Teal, the chief factor in differentiating the two species, was the rusty-red color on the bird's neck breast and tail feathers. When the two species flew, it was easy to separate the light tan breast of the Blue-winged Teal from the rusty-red breast of the Cinnamon Teal.
