[nysbirds-l] Eurasian Wigeon - Lotus Lake, Sayville (Suffolk)
There is currently an adult male Eurasian Wigeon on Lotus Lake in Sayville. The bird is transitioning out of eclipse plumage and into breeding. Bright rufous head, patchy rufous on sides blending into a pale grey wash. Considerable grey above. Some decent iScope images are available below on my Flickr link. Other than the wigeon, there were mostly the usual migrants that we'd expect. 2 Green-winged Teals were the other new arrivals for Lotus. Best access for Lotus Lake is toward the dead end of Lotus Road on the east side of the lake. Walk in toward the dam and you'll find a nice, open area to glass over the pond.
