Cinnamon Teal at Kaysville Ponds



I stopped briefly at Kaysville Ponds late this afternoon and saw three Cinnamon Teal--two drakes and one hen.  Although the Cinnamon Teal is a common summer resident, the 2004 Utah checklist classifies this species as a rare winter bird.  In addition to the teal, all other species present were "regulars"--lots of Mallards, Common Goldeneyes, a female Ring-necked Duck, American Wigeon, Lesser Scaup, and Ring-billed Gulls.  No Hooded Mergansers; boo-hoo.
