The American Wigeon's range is spread from the tips of Alaska and Canada to the south from Mexico to the northernmost parts of South America. The winter population of these seasonal migratory birds is found in the lower 48 states of the United States and all of Mexico. The population of this dabbling duck species is not found in the mountainous range of the Rocky Mountains and Appalachian Range. Their breeding grounds are across western Canada and almost all of the northwestern United States. During the winter a major population of birds will migrate to western Europe, especially to Great Britain and Ireland. ~ Animal Diversity Web
