Observation details

1 Eurasian Widgeon seen in a large duck group on the second (larger) pond along the Weapons to Wetlands trail. First spotted while counting the white-fronted geese, and I only got a brief, partially obstructed view of a gray-bodied bird with a solid reddish brown head and a buffy yellowish crown mark above the bill. I moved to a better vantage point and was able to confirm Eurasian Widgeon. Gary Stegner and Jane Powell, who both work at Fernald showed up and also got views of the bird too. As we were leaving, it and every other single duck on the pond flew to a back pond out of public view. Gary and Jane took me back there and we were able to relocate the bird. Hopefully it will move back onto a publicly accessible pond. Dec 2016 edit: Horrid photo found on old SD card
