Male Eurasian wigeon. Plymouth Flats.
Observation details
First documented record for Luzerne County. I observed a male Eurasian wigeon feeding in a large topsoil pond with numerous waterfowl species including Am. wigeons. The Eurasian wigeon had a rusty brown head and buffy crown, along with grayish body and rosey breast. Bird looked very different than male and female Am. wigeons. I immediately notified other local birders and some were fortunate to see this rarity. The bird was not found the following day.
