Description
Male American Wigeon (Anas americana)
American Wigeon is a medium-sized bird. The breeding male is a striking bird with a mask of green feathers around its eyes and a cream colored cap running from the crown of its head to its bill. It is a bird of open wetlands, as here. It usually feeds by dabbling for plant food or grazing, which it does very readily. While on the water, wigeon often gather with feeding coots and divers. It also commonly feed on dry land, eating waste grain in harvested fields and grazing on pasture grasses, winter wheat, clover, and lettuce. Having a largely vegetarian diet, most wigeon migrate in autumn well before northern marshes begin to freeze.
