Observation details
Continuing breeding plumage male with dark cinnamon red body and head. My brother Bill Hutto was with me and he spotted it out a short distance in the marsh near where several of us saw it in flight late in the afternoon on February 15. When we first saw it, it had its head up but its body was resting on some of the brushy piles. Part of its body was hidden by the brush in front of it. I had only a small pocket camera with us and it was difficult to get it to focus on the Teal through the brush, especially after it lowered its head, but I'll add a few poor photos mainly to show how well hidden it can be and perhaps it will help others looking for it. The last photo shows that once it lowers its head it can be almost impossible to see.
