Smart dresser


This is another sighting that pleased me this morning, as seldom have I been able to get this close to the American Wigeons. This male was one of five wigeons that had been resting in the cattails fairly close to the railbed, but that moved away as I approached. He has nearly completed his molt into his winter garb, so is looking rather fetching.
