[mou-net] UPDATE: Cinnamon Teal - New Germany, Carver county

About 10 minutes after I posted, the teal flew off to the southwest. I have spent the time since trying to relocate it without success. There are areas in these wetlands that are not accessible and the teal certainly could still be around. Good luck On Mar 21, 2015, at 12:42 PM, Bill
