American Wigeon
September 29th, 2009
I photographed this male American Wigeon weekend before last at Mud Lake. He gradually grew accustomed to my presence as I knelt quietly on a platform over the lake, and wended his way closer and closer as he foraged. It was especially nice when he swan into an area where nascent fall colors were reflected on the water.
When he comes out of eclipse later in fall, that vague blackish patch on his face will turn iridescent green.
