kdoty Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 We saw two of these Wigeon’s swimming with some Mallards and Canadian Geese at Big Lake in Council Bluffs, IA today. I know it is most likely an American Wigeon but it looks more like a Eurasian Wigeon to me. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colton V Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 American Wigeon. Eurasian wigeons do not have the dark slash behind their eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
