Observation details
adult male; photos. Bird was as wary as expected for a wild wigeon. It was loosely associating with the 2 American Wigeon present, and when I approached the birds closer to obtain photos, they all left the bank where they were perched and swam out into the middle of the pond when I got within 30-40 meters of them. I observed the Eurasian Wigeon through the scope and digiscoped it; it has no flecks of green on the head, and no patterning on the head that would lead me to believe it was a hybrid. I will post a photo or two to the eBird rarity photos Flickr site.
