This morning, 11/26/98, between 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. Tyler Bell and I saw the
pair of Cinnamon Teal at Eastern Neck NWR in Kent County, MD. The birds were
on the north and east side of the hump-backed wooden bridge just before
entering the refuge. We parked about 1/10 mile beyond the bridge and looked
toward the bridge. The birds were not visible from the bridge as they swam
around the reeds and were often not visible for prolonged periods of time.
The adult male was in full breeding plumage.

Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift. That's why they call it the PRESENT.
