Cinnamon Teal
June 2012 – Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, WA
This pair of Cinnamon Teal were sticking close together… hanging out on the lake as dusk settled in. There’s a pretty decent “wildlife drive” around the southwest part of Tule Lake – basically a gravel road on top of a dike. This allows you to use your car as an impromptu (and imperfect) blind. The birds do get spooked from the car, but not as badly as if you were walking along.

Another pair of Cinnamon Teal in a different location on Tule Lake… and a different day. Note the orange feet!
