Subject: [Tweeters] Eurasian x American Wigeon Hybrid at Point Defiance

On the big lawn to the left as you enter Point Defiance Park in Tacoma was a wigeon with a golden crown, bright red head AND a bright green eye-strip. Quite a beauty! I watched him for about 15 - 20 minutes, starting around 12:15 today (1/31/07) in cool, sunny weather. There were two main flocks of approx. 40 and 60 wigeon respectively. (There were also a few mallards mixed in.) I did not see any other Eurasian wigeon, just the one hybrid.
