Drake American Wigeon

American Wigeon, AKA Baldplate, Anas americana

I have had several excellent opportunities to photograph American Wigeons this winter, and to be honest, I just love this duck now. That green and white head and salt-and-pepper cheeks and neck really work. These birds beg to be photographed. And the ones at Blendon Woods frequently come close to the observation buildings, allowing great viewing opportunities.
