Cinnamon Teal

[larryj]

I was chasing some Snowy Egrets in a weedy area of a local park with not much luck. Another photographer told me there was a Cinnamon Teal not far from where I was shooting. I quickly made for that area as I had never seen that critter. I spotted him and he kept darting in and out of the weeds. I finally grabbed this shot before he was off in the the weeds again. This was the only decent shot I got that day and I never saw another one on that lake again.

Those birds have some really interesting colors. Nice capture.

Awesome job Larry! I don't think I have seen one in person yet. Hopefully one day as they are so unusual in their coloring.

Pretty colorful bird. The reflection is a nice bonus.

That's an impressive photo of the Cinnamon Teal. The color, light, and eye-level pespective are perfect

Thanks Jim for your comments, appreciated. He was a skittish little critter, scooting in and out of the tall weeds. I was lucky to get that one decent shot. There were actually 2 of the critters, but the other one stayed in the weeds and I nerver got a clear shot.
