75:57-582003indexSpring 2002 Influx of Probable Blue-winged X Cinnamon Teal
76:1522004-03-25East Landfill Reservoir; near RochesterOlmsted(record #2004-048, vote 1–6). This may have been a sighting of a pure Cinnamon Teal, but less than two weeks later at the exact same location, a bird reported to be a male Cinnamon Teal was photographed and the photographs clearly show hybridization with Blue-winged Teal. Committee members were reluctant to endorse the identification of the 25 March bird since the 6 April bird was not recognized in the field as a hybrid, yet both were studied by the same observer through the same Celestron spotting scope for 40–45 minutes from less than 50 yards. The observer providing documentation had no previous experience with Cinnamon Teal or hybrids thereof, and acknowledged being less than 100% certain that two different individuals were involved. Not Accepted
276:1522004-04-15Caerulean W.M.A.Lac qui Parle(record #2004-038, vote 6–1). Hybrid Cinnamon X Blue-winged Teal are variable in appearance and some may closely resemble “pure” male Cinnamon Teal except for the presence of spots or short bars on the underbody. One committee member voted not to accept this record because these hybrid characteristics were not specifically considered. Accepted
76:1522004-04-29Big Stone N.W.R.Lac qui Parle(record #2004-039, vote 2–5). This male teal was seen only in flight, and the majority felt that a hybrid could not be excluded under these circumstances, especially since no information was provided on distance, light conditions, and time of day. Not Accepted
376:1522004-05-092004-05-17Otrey TownshipBig Stone(record #2004-024, vote 7–0). In this case, characteristics of hybrid teal were discussed and eliminated in the written description, and photographs supported the identification. Accepted
76:1522004-05-29Rosemoen IslandChippewa(record #2004-055, vote 3–4). The observer stated, “no indications of hybridization” but it was unclear whether the observer had any experience with hybrid teal or knew what to look for when considering this possibility. Light conditions and time of day for this sight record were not specified. Elimination of hybrid Cinnamon X Blue-winged Teal requires careful scrutiny under optimal conditions (see Record #2004-048). Observers are encouraged either to use the “Request for Documentation” form or follow its format exactly (the form can be mailed upon request or downloaded at ). This form was designed to guide observers through the documentation process and reminds us to include field notes, photos, and pertinent information such as distance, light conditions, time of day, and previous experience with the species in question.
