Star of the show
Eurasian Wigeon stands out from the other wigeons on the pond with its red head. It seemed a bit smaller to me than the American Wigeons, and I don't think it was an illusion of distance, because it seemed smaller when in front too. I've given up on looking through the pics for a female Eurasian Wigeon. One site said, very unhelpfully, that the female Eurasian Wigeon can be identified by its lack of field marks. Really?????
