SEAK QBR Mentions:
- Sp2009: This species is a rare spring migrant and summer visitant in SEAK (Kessel and Gibson 1978). At least two males in JNU area 29 April–30 May, a pair was found at Kake on 23–24 May, and a male was found at GUS on 26 May.
- Sp2010: This species is a rare spring migrant and summer visitant in SEAK (Kessel and Gibson 1978) and is generally found annually in May and June. A male at JNU 28 March, and relocated on 4 April, however, was extremely early and likely provided one of the earliest records for Alaska.
- Su2010: A drake near JNU, 6 June 2010 and 15 June 2010. This species is a rare spring migrant and summer visitant in SEAK (Kessel and Gibson 1978) and occurs annually in May and June.
- Sp2011: A drake at JNU 15–16 May provided this season’s only report. This species is a rare spring migrant and summer visitant in SEAK (Kessel and Gibson 1978).
- Sp2012: A drake at JNU 5–7 May provided the only report of this species, which is a rare, regular spring migrant in SEAK (Kessel and Gibson 1978).
- Sp2013: Two at JNU 9 May provided the only report this spring. This species rare, regular spring migrant in SEAK, but JNU is the place to see this species as it has been reported in that area in 26 of the past 31 years since 1983!
- F2014: Three reported at GUS 24 August included a drake with some rusty body plumage. A female or immature was also reported at JNU 28 September. Although a rare, regular spring migrant in SEAK, there are very few fall reports owing to the difficulty of separating it from the extremely similar Blue-winged Teal; young birds of the species pair, in particular, may be indistinguishable from each other in the field.
- F2015: One was photographed at Gustavus 30 September and 11 October. Although this duck is a rare, regular spring migrant in SEAK, there are very few fall reports, most likely owing to the difficulty of separating it from the extremely similar Blue-winged Teal. Young birds of this species pair, in particular, may sometimes be indistinguishable from each other in the field.
- Sp2016: Two reports this spring: a drake at Eagle Beach 27 April–3 May and two at the Chilkat River flats, near Haines, 14 May 2016.
- Su2018: Single drake Cinnamon Teal were reported at JNU 1 June 2018 and Sitka 9 June 2018. The Cinnamon Teal is a rare spring migrant (May–June) in SEAK (Kessel and Gibson 1978); it nests north to southern British Columbia (Campbell et al. 1990).
