Eclipse Plumage

I saw the first of season American Wigeon at Sunset Bay. It is a male in eclipse plumage. Non-breeding plumage. When it molts into its breeding plumage it will have white on the top of it's head and a beautiful green stripe that goes from its eye to the nape of the neck on each side.
