Nature Walks – American Wigeons, Ducks Of Another Feather

We are so blessed and so lucky to live where we do. We have so much wildlife literally right in our backyard. And so much variety too. Some more of our local duck species are The American Wigeons. These have a fun nickname too. They are often referred to as the “golf course ducks” because they are often found on the waters of local and suburban gold courses. We see them in the “burbs” mostly in the winter months, though there are still quite a few around these days too.

The males have a bright green stripe right over their eyes.

The females do not.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
