American Wigeon

I always enjoy seeing the American Wigeon. It's a pretty bird. This one is a breeding male with a gray head and beautiful green stripe behind the eye. The top of the head is white. The body is cinnamon and it has white patches on the sides of the rump.


A "Cool Fact" from 'All About Birds' - "The oldest American Wigeon reported was at least 21 years and 4 months old." http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Wigeon/overview

Looks like he has one eye on you and the other on the female over there!
