Cinnamon Teal Hen
A pair of Cinnamon Teal + another drake recently appeared on a local pond. I was fortunate enough to be there. They weren't there(or were in hiding) the next day. I posted a photo of the pair in Avian.

Beautiful bird! I've never seen a Cinnamon Teal. The red eye on the red head is very striking. Excellent eye contact on both birds. Great work!

Good catch, Jim, and love the reflection. If you don't mind my being a little comical.....it looks like they're trying walk down a balance beam. LOL :smile:
