Hi Everyone,

This morning (15 Feb 2012) Megan Ramstrom and I visited Riley Roberts Rd in Deal Island WMA in Somerset County.

We saw an unusual male wigeon that had many features of a Eurasian Wigeon (rufous head, gray sides) but also some features that looked like they belonged to an American Wigeon (white forehead and crown, pattern [not color] on side of head).

The American White Pelican and Snowy Egrets continue as well.

Photos of the wigeon and the pelican are in the eBird list at the following link.

Have fun,
