Media notes
Adult male - everything seems consistent with this being a pure Eurasian Wigeon
Observation details
Continuing male with 14 American Wigeon in the marshy pond at the north end of Hunter Run Cove. The entire wigeon flock was a bit unsettled by us watching them through scopes, and the Eurasian flushed once but quickly returned to the pond and offered great views. It's not certain that this is the same bird reported by Joe Verica on Feb 29th from the marina, but considering how rare this species is in central PA (this is only the 5th record for the county) I would bet it is the same one. My 260th species in the county!
