First the "Eurasian Wigeon". I had reported on a basic-plumaged male Eurasian Wigeon a couple of weeks ago which I had seen both Sat & Sun (9/28 & 9/29). Since then I have not been able to refind this wigeon although I have tried several times. This Sunday I found an interesting wigeon which I believe may be a hybrid Amer x Eur Wigeon. This wigeon had a rufous head with a buffy-golden forehead; however, it also had green coloring extending from the back of the eyes. The flanks were not entirely rufous, but more mottled rufous with pale splotching. Page 85 of the Sibley Guide shows two illustrations of Amer x Eur Wigeon hybrids, and the bird I saw looked more similar to the top illustration. Perhaps this is the same bird that I had reported on earlier, but it is not developing into a "classic" Eurasian Wigeon. I also saw a paler wigeon with a brownish head - possibly a female Eur Wigeon - but I'm not good enough to definitely make that call. Among other birds to add for Sunday, Oct 13 were a pair of BUFFLEHEAD (male & female), a DUNLIN, a SPOTTED SANDPIPER, and a YELLOW WARBLER in an oak along the levee. Other birds have already been reported - the Wilson's (Common) Snipes and all the Wild Turkeys (a banner year for Wild Turkeys at Calero - they're everywhere!). The CANADA GOOSE flock started arriving over the hill around 9:00 am - no unusual geese to report except for the "leucistic" Canada Goose with a black & white neck.
