Observation details
Fishburne Pond - several hundred ducks - mottled ducks, blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, gadwal, American wigeon, hooded merganser, etc. At least 2 male Eurasian wigeons in breeding colors, perhaps 3 or 4. Dark rufus head with buffy crown very easy to see - gray body with white patch on wing. Associating with other ducks (probably females) and american wigeons. Often dabbling with black rump tip with white bottom shinning in the sun - far in the back of Fishburne Pond but easy to see with scope. Photos and videos poor due to distance. Watched for perhaps an hour and a half - 2 males were spotted several times - I thought there were perhaps 3-4 males and some females but I was not able to get a higher number due to the ducks often dabbling and the distance.
