The two drakes together is absolutely fabulous! You got to watch this pair, so if you got the sense they were mates…I’ll bet the farm you were right.

I wonder- the American Widgeon looks a lot like a mallard. Are they related?

Great photos and very interesting comparisons of the two species. Are they naturally occurring or were they introduced at some time?

the Eurasian Wigeon is really sweet. I hope I will get closer to them this year. They tend to be far out in the lakes. Great shots Larry.

Ducks confuse me. Especially because they cross breed. Those last two do sorta look they belong together, but then again … 🙂
