There was a drake Eurasian Wigeon at Cranberry Reservoir near Westminster this morning. It was associating with a small flock of American Wigeon and Ring-necked Ducks. It drifted out of sight into a cove in the left rear of the lake. The reservoir is located on Monks Way off Lucabaugh Mill Road northeast of Westminster (DeLorme 74B1).
