Farther south many nest in northern Lower California, in the San Rafael Valley, and at La Grulla, 
California and perhaps even near San Pedro Martir (Brewster, 1902). Inland the species breeds 
Arizona in Arizona, in the Mogollon Mountains (Mearns, 1890) and commonly in the Wliite 
Mountains (Goldman, U.S. Biological Survey) and to a smaller extent in New Mexico (V. Bailey, 
Nevada 1913), specifically at Lake Burford (Wetmore, 1920). In Nevada it is an abundant 
breeder (Hanford, 1903; W. P. Taylor, 1912; Oberholser, U.S. Biological Survey), 
and the same is true of parts of Utah, such as the Bear River Marshes (Wetmore, 
1921). Merriam (1873) found this Teal breeding at Marsh Creek, Idaho, and A. A. Saunders (1921) 
Montana Montana some breed west of the continental divide. It has even been 
. reported breeding near Billings. Wyoming is also within the regular breeding range, 
vomiiic 
and the species is a fairly common summer resident and breeder throughout that 
Colorado State (W. C. Knight, 1902; Grave and Walker, 1913). In Colorado also it is a fairly 
common summer bird and breeder (W. L. Sclater, 1912). 
Beyond this area the breeding range is somewhat extended by occasional breeding records or 
Alaska summer occurrences. Thus the Cinnamon Teal has been seen in southeastern Alaska 
in October (Bailey, MS.), and a specimen has been taken in Vancouver (P. L. Sclater, 
1859b). Inland specimens are said to have been taken in southwestern Alberta (J. 
and J. M. Macoun, 1909) and Mr. Harper writes me that in the museum at Edmonton there is a 
specimen taken near that city. May 12, 1917. Other specimens have been taken or seen in south- 
western Saskatchewan, at Hay Creek and Crane Lake in June (Bent, 1907). The 
easternmost record for Canada is for Oak Point, and perhaps Lake Manitoba, in 
Manitoba (Taverner, 1919). 
In the United States the Cinnamon Teal breeds rarely in North Dakota near Dawson (Sheldon, 
U.S. Biological Survey) and almost surely in other parts of Kidder County, where 
Oberholser (1918a) met with it in the middle of June. In South Dakota it has never 
been found actually nesting but it is known there as a rare migrant (Reagan, 1908; Holt, U.S. 
Biological Survey) and in the spring of 1901 was fairly common in Sanborn County (Visher, 1913). 
Nebraska Nebraska, too, it is said to be common at times in the western and central parts 
(W. E. Taylor and Van Vleet, 1888; Carpenter, U.S. Biological Survey notes). In 
Kansas several were seen in the western parts in summer, and one, undoubtedly breed- 
ing, was taken in Meade County (Goss, 1891). Bimker (1913) states that it is not an uncommon 
bird in western Kansas, and H. Harris (1919) reports a considerable number taken about Kansas 
City. Strictly extra-limital records are those for Minnesota (Hatch, 1892), Wisconsin (Kumlien and 
Hollister, 1903), Iowa (R. M. Anderson, 1907), Missouri (Widmann, 1907), Illinois (Ridgway, 
Eastern 1895), Licking County Reservoir, Ohio (Davie, 1898), Seneca Lake, New York (Eaton, 
States 1910), Town Point, Maryland (U.S. Biological Survey) and South Carolina (Wayne, 
1910). Brewster (1907) has disproved most of the records for Florida, but those for Lake lamonia 
(Rhoads, 1907), Lake Jackson and Key West (U.S. Biological Survey) seem to have been correct. 
In Texas the species may occasionally breed. It has been seen in May and June near Laredo, Cotulla 
and Rock Springs (Oberholser, U.S. Biological Survey), and a few broods have been taken near San 
Antonio (Quillin and Holleman, 1918). Strecker (1912) says it has bred near Midland. Cooke 
(1906) says the species has bred near Chihuahua City, Mexico, and the maps of the 
U.S. Biological Survey show breeding records also for Ocotlan (Jalisco) and Mexico 
City. I have little doubt that it breeds throughout central Mexico. Sanford (Sanford, Bishop and 
Van Dyke, 1903) say that at Laguna, in the highlands behind Tampico, it became common by early 
May, and apparently remained there to breed.

Not all the Cinnamon Teal migrate far south in North America. A few stay in central and southern 
California (Grinnell, Bryant and Storer, 1918) and southern Arizona (Swarth, 1914); perhaps also
