The cinnamon teal occurs sparingly in migration as 

 far east as Houston, Tex., and Omaha, Neb. It has been 

 noted as accidental at Oak Lake, Manitoba; Big Stone 

 Lake, Minnesota ; Lake Koshkonong, Wisconsin ; Lick- 

 ing County Reservoir, Ohio; Seneca River and Seneca 

 Lake, New York; Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Catta- 

 watchie, St. Malo, and Opelousas, La.; Mount Pleasant, 

 S. C. ; Lake lamonia and Key West, Fla. 



Throughout this breeding area the eggs are deposited 

 during May and June. About six months later the South 

 American colony breeds. The breeding range includes 

 the pampas of Argentina as far north as Buenos Aires, 

 while in the Andes it extends north to central Peru 

 (Santa Luzia.) Southward the species breeds as far as 

 the Falkland Islands and the Straits of Magellan. These 

 South American breeders, of course, are not the same 

 birds which nest in North America, for it is true, without 

 exception, that no bird which breeds north of the equator 

 breeds also in the Southern Hemisphere. 



Winter Range. The cinnamon teal of North America 

 retires in winter but little south of its breeding range in 

 Mexico as far as Mazatlan, Guanajuato, and the Laguna 

 de Chapulco, Puebla. It is found at this season as far 

 north as Brownsville, Tex., central New Mexico, south- 

 ern Arizona, and Tulare Lake, California. South of 

 Mexico the only record is of an accidental occurrence in 

 Costa Rica. There is no reliable record as yet for the 

 West Indies. 



During the winter season the cinnamon teal of the 

 Southern Hemisphere has been noted as far south as the 

 mouth of the Senger River, in Patagonia, latitude 44 S., 

 and Chiloe Island, Chile, in nearly the same latitude. The
