Hi Everyone:=0A=0AYes, I saw several Eurasian Wigeons today with the green =
on the eyes at Sullivan's Pond. =A0We counted 8 Eurasian Wigeons there. We =
attempted to take pictures but the Mallards were more cooperative. My Sible=
y Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North American shows that Eurasian someti=
mes hybridizes with Americans. =A0The illustration shows a Eurasian with gr=
een as a hybrid.=0A=0ATuma Young=0A=0A=0A=A0=0AKoqwaqja'tekaq'tinej.=0A(Let=
