I was hunting in SoCal on Saturday, ran across a guy on Navy leave, lives in IL, and he wanted a drake cinnamon teal in the worst way. Couldn't find teal to save his life. Ran into him again on Sunday, he was despondent that he would have to pack up and head back to base without his teal. I headed off to my blind for a little afternoon shoot in the rain. About five minutes later I had a drake cinnamon in the bag. Tracked him down and gave it to him. I'd rather be lucky than good.
I've seen the Aleutian Teal in the bird I.D. books, but their pics don't do that bird justice. Very nice bird and great pic.
