LATE FALL VISITORS

18 Comments

Some years we see a few American Wigeons at the local reserve. Although quite common, we only see them occasionally in early spring or late fall. Their main breeding ground is further west and of course they’re “snowbirds”, heading south as the cold sets in. 😏

  1. Always like seeing the Wigeons, we usually have one or two that decide to ride out the Illinois winter, but the others are definitely smarter ha. Great shot.

  4. They’re such pretty ducks. Just look at how many of their feathers have light-coloured outlining. On the female too.
