Observasjonsdetaljer
Male with blonde forehead on otherwise dark reddish-brown head, light gray bill, gray body and wings with white patch showing on folded wings, black tail, white below. Viewing through 85mm scope I was able to directly compare this bird with two male American wigeons nearby and the difference in plumage on their heads was unmistakable. This bird didn’t have the green slash on a gray head and it’s head was much more evenly dark than the Americans. The buff forehead wasn’t as extensive as the white of Americans and was obviously blonde compared to the stark white forehead on the American birds. If the birds were at twelve o’clock then the sun was at 2 or so, therefore the photos I got were backlit.
