Donn Mattsson and I saw the cinammon teal today (Monday) after a long time
searching . At around 5:00 tonight we located him at the end of the small
stream which flows along the left side of the first field to the north of
the farmhouse. We had originally seen a few ducks back in there on land by
the tree, but could not see enough of them to make an ID. Eventually the
cinammon teal stepped out, was quite visible, swam for a bit in the water,
then went back up on land.

Subject: [mou-net] Cinnamon Teal not present
Hi everyone,
Forest Strnad and I tried for the Cinnamon Teal in Carver County this
evening between 5:10 and 6:20 PM. We gave it a good hour of searching with
scopes at both wet areas north and south of the farmhouse. We also checked
out the wet area further south on the east side of the road but had no luck.
There must have been between 400-500 Bonaparte's Gulls present, which were
interesting. Also present were many yellowlegs of both species, and in the
eastern flooded field, there were at least 3 Pectoral Sandpipers.
I'd be very interested in hearing if the teal is relocated!
Thanks and good birding!
