The CINNAMON TEAL was reported by Logan Kahle on Larue’s Lagoon shortly after 6am this morning. Joe Wing reported that it was flushed by an eagle and flew from there toward the Main Pool at 9am. If this bird sticks around long enough it may finish transitioning and remove doubt as to whether it is a Blue-winged Teal hybrid. Or it may not transition further which might (or might not) suggest it’s a hybrid. As Kevin notes, BNA says they retain eclipse traits for quite awhile. Keep taking photos and notes, everyone!
