Detalles de la observación
Drake in among the Americans. Reddish head, pale sides, straw-colored crown. Very distant record shots taken, including video. Seen from southwest shore, where there were two canoes…if either had a paddle, I'd have gotten in. Note that the sides of this bird were not clean gray like a full-plumage male; perhaps still in incomplete molt. Addendum…I found a homeowner at the other end of the lake who let me take some photos…and as it turns out, there was also a beautiful cinnamon female. Photos and video of each show the important field marks. What a pleasant surprise on my first day of eBirding in the state! This species is a regular migrant in my home valley in western Montana, where they can make up 1-2% (!) of the spring wigeon flocks.
