Observation details
It was superficially similar to a male Eurasian Wigeon, but showed several inconsistent features indicating a hybrid. Thanks to all who spotted those! It flew in from the south just as I was leaving and I was alerted to its presence by its high-pitched squeal. It’s very likely a continuing bird that has been seen in Albuquerque for several weeks.
