- "The cinnamon teal (spatula cyanoptera) is a small dabbling duck with characteristic cinnamon colored plumage on males and a duller brown plumage on females. Cinnamon teal can be found across the western United States, extreme southwestern Canada, and Southern America. While females and non-breeding males have more coarse, brown coloration across their bodies, breeding males have long black bills, red eye coloration, black backs, and rear, with white underwings. Green secondaries and sky blue shoulder feathers also become visible in flight. The cinnamon teal is significantly smaller than the mallard, weighing in at 0.50 kg, with a wingspan of no more than 0.65 m."

Tips[]
Ducks will fly against the wind when making a landing, so be mindful of the wind direction. If you are going to use blinds and decoys, place your decoys approximately 50ms (54yds) away from your blind so the Cinnamon Teal won't fly on top of you and spook.
