Hi All

I took a visit to Sullivans Pond this morning, (Saturday, December 12th) =
and I viewed three male wigeons with a rufous colored head consistent =
with Eurasian Wigeon, but I was only fairly confident with of one of =
them as looking legitimate enough as to not being a potential hybrid. =
There was a fourth wigeon as well that had an unusual head color. It =
kind of resembled a female Eurasian to me, but perhaps a young male...or =
perhaps another wigeon of mixed parentage? Here are some photos of all =
that I have mentioned. Comments from more experienced eyes privately or =
otherwise are encouraged.
Thanks in advance:
