[EBB Sightings] At least 1.5 Eurasian Wigeons at Coyote Hills

Hi Birders-

The male Eurasian Wigeon continues at Coyote Hill Regional Park on the pond 
across from the visitor center. Also on the pond was another male that 
looked pretty much much like a full-blooded Euro-widge except for being very 
slightly paler and having grayish cheeks. What this means in regard to 
parentage, age, molt, or some other variation in plumage, I know not. All 
other presumed Euro/American Wigeons I have seen have had some greenish 
around the eye and/or pinkish-brown patches on the flanks. Some other birds 
seen in the park: the Great Horned Owl easily seen from almost anywhere near 
the visitor center and two House Wrens at a nest in Hoot Hollow, and a 
Wilson's Warbler, Allen's Hummingbird, and Hermit Thrush in the butterfly 
garden. A California Quail was heard in the vicinity of the visitor center. 
A very nice day there.
