First time I’ve ever captured a Cinnamon Teal vocalizing in flight.
1/6400, f/5.6, ISO 1000, Canon R5, Canon EF500mm f/4L IS II USM + 1.4 tc, not baited, set up or called in
Four days ago at Bear River MBR I didn’t even see this drake Cinnamon Teal until he was taking off, so in this shot he’s some distance from the water he took off from and in full flight. He’s vocalizing, which to me makes him look happy but it’s more likely that he was encouraging his mate to join him. Which she did.

The next shot in the burst. I’m slightly surprised that there was still this much water draining off of him this long after takeoff. I got 3 more shots of him in flight but I didn’t like his wing positions much and two of them were a little soft.
This was some of the best light I had on that cloudy morning, which was good timing for a duck in flight. It sure didn’t last long though.
