    Numbers of Eurasian Wigeons here in town are still low, but they're actually one of the species we've seen rising numbers for. Green-winged Teal are another. This male looks to be transitioning into breeding plumage.

    Eurasian x American Wigeon

    This intriguing hybrid has apparently returned for its fourth winter to the same spot. Although closely resembling a molting Eurasian Wigeon, note the dark flecking on the face of this bird, visible at close range. This feature is typical of American Wigeon but not Eurasian. It also shows...

    All I could make out through the mist were Whooper Swans and Eurasian Wigeon. What the rest were I've no idea. Wish I could make such images as good as Ove can!! Saturday Fun Gawd... the new pills the doc started me on yesterday seem strong enough to deaden the pain somewhat, but playing...

    On one of my first outings here with other birders I gathered that Wigeons were something of a sensation. Not exactly rare, but uncommon. I'm happy to say that their numbers are rising, at least here in town. Now we regularly see them, aside from the brief breeding season when they're up in the...

    Hear me roar!

    Male Eurasian Wigeons whistle, actually pretty close to the "wolf whistle" human men plague women with sometimes. Females growl. In human terms, all the males are almost toxically masculine and females are all feminists ;)

    Putting on the charm

    I read recently that something like 80% of the species we have in ... was it the UK or Norway? I don't recall, but it's probably both ... that are in population decline in recent decades. Oddly enough, a few species are on the rise locally. Wigeons were a fairly rare sight here back when I was a...

    Wigeon in drag?

    I think this is a young male, with male plumage just beginning to come in to gradually replace the basic (eclipse and female) plumage. Sorry I'm not caught up browsing. Was going to do that now, but find I'm exhausted - falling asleep over the keyboard. I'll have to catch up tomorrow.

    This handsome adult male is showing a bit of the iridescent green outlined in black on its secondaries. Usually visible only in flight or when the wing is spread, this patch of color is often called the "speculum" in ducks. The solid white patch on the upperwing coverts indicates an adult...
