Viurre Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) There has been a rare Cinnamon Teal appearance in Central Pa, and I am just verifying I got a picture (although it was very zoomed in and not great). There were other teals in the same pond and a few other ducks, just trying to make sure I have them straight: 1. Cinnamon Teal 2. Blue Wing Teal female and male 3. Not sure 4. Lastly, just verifying this is a Common Merganser female (SW PA, Yesterday) Edited April 4 by Viurre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The placement of white is incredibly useful on ducks. On photo #2, notice the size and shape of the white patch on side of the male Blue-winged. On photo, #3, the bird has a white patch the same size and shape. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
