As of noon today, the cinnamon teal had not been refound, but could easily still be present in the huge amount of flooded cornfield habitat at the site. There were numerous ducks appearing and disappearing into the flooded stalks.
A Eurasian Green-wing Teal was found (not seen by myself) this morning a bit south (about 0.5 mile) along Rte 36 from Rte 258 of the spot the cinnamon had been seen yesterday, but it too shortly disappeared into the cover. This bird was seen from a pull-off between the ends of Kysorville Rd. There is a couple square miles of flooded field habitat at this site so these rarities could be hard to find, but the waterfowl spectacular is still worth a visit. My checklist from this morning gives a feel for the numbers of birds involved, and my counts are conservative. https://ebird.org/atlasny/checklist/S105365443 Michael R.

A handful of lists from today (the 22nd) at the same location seem to indicate that the Cinnamon Teal was not refound, although it could definitely still be present in the general vicinity. Good birding everyone!
