| 説明 | The blue-winged teal and cinnamon teal drakes are easy to tell apart in the spring. The cinnamon teal drakes are cinnamon colored. Now how do you tell the hens apart?. It is difficult to separate them, but possible. When trying to find descriptions of how to tell them apart, the word "slightly" is used a lot. Here is one of the better descriptions I have found:"The female cinnamon is a slightly warmer shade of brown, and the edges of its body feathers show slightly less contrast on average. Its face is often noticeably plainer, with less contrast to the dark eye-line, broken pale eye-ring, and pale area near the base of the bill. The bill itself is slightly longer and wider on cinnamon teal than on Blue-winged Teal. These differences are all subtle, but all of them in combination are usually enough to nail a firm ID." -Kenn Kaufman and Brian E. Small- from:www.birdwatchingdaily.com/birds/kenn-kaufmans-id-tips/ide... Based on the slight variations of less contrast to the eye line, little to no broken pale eye ring, little pale area near the base of the bill, and a slightly wider and longer bill, I am confidently proclaiming the hens to be cinnamon teal, I think.Photo: Teal at Seedskadee NWR.
