Those seen today also showed the green. One bird, that I think I saw 12 days ago, had a very even blend of the chestnut and grey on the sides. 2) A widgeon seen last year in Redwood Shores that I think was deemed a hybrid. It had the two colors intruding into each other where they meet on the side of the breast, plus some green on the head.. I hope I'm wrong. I settle for 5 Eurasian Widgeons anytime. I'll be going back in a few days to check again. Anyone have any idea about the yellow-headed widgeon?

You mentioned previously a bird that had a mixture of gray and chestnut on the flanks. If that's the case with these birds, then they are likely birds that are still molting from eclipse plumage into alternate plumage, rather than hybrids. Michael Mammoser -----Original Message----- From: Weber, Dave Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 1:15 PM At noon I walked out to the S side of the W pond at the SWPCP. Saw 5 male Eurasian Widgeons, 2 pure and 3 hybrid. Most interesting bird was an American Widgeon. It had the normal green patch on the head, but the rest of the head was bright yellow. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
