Observation details

(At Horicon Marsh's Auto Loop ponds - almost to the day of last year's Eurasian Wigeon report in the same pond !) Today in last and largest pond on the Auto Loop, a hybrid Wigeon given the lack of uniformity to the rusty head color? The rusty color is bright where the American Wigeon has a green patch, but is duller brown where the American Wigeon has gray mottling on the cheek portion of face. But flanks are uniformly gray, crown is cream-colored, Only face doesn't completely fit EUWI.
