American Wigeon


Both photos are of male American Wigeons. I find their coloring fascinating, especially the grayish-blue bill. These photos were taken at one of our local parks. If you want to know more about this little duck go HERE.

For more watery photos visit Watery Wednesday and to explore the great outdoors go to Outdoor Wednesday.

I've never seen one of these ducks. The bill is fabulous, and my favorite thing about him.

Love the photos and the ducks! You are right-the coloration is fascinating. It (coloration) looks to be so delicate.
Hope you are having a great week!
