Late this afternoon I found a Eurasian Wigeon at the corner of Pelee Drive and Concession Road E. The bird is in a flooded field with a massive concentration of other puddle ducks.
The bird is a "drab" male with a dull rusty head (not bright red) so I suspect it is a one-year-old. Estimates of other birds in the same field include: Mallard -- 1900 Northern Pintail -- 600 American Wigeon -- 450 Gadwall -- 450 Eastern Meadowlark -- 4 Alan Wormington, Leamington _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
