When I kept cinnamon teal they began nesting in early April each year. European wigeon started in mid May/early June. Each location is different though, southern birds tend to breed earlier as do those kept under lights.

Here in Michigan the Cinnamons start the end of April and the Europeans are normally a few weeks later
