I looked for some good close-up bird pictures to send out and couldn’t find any. I need to get out more. I did come across some ducks on a pond in Arizona. Usually, pond ducks are a whole mix of different colors and patterns, domestic Mallard hybrids paddling about in search of soggy slices of bread or crackers. These ducks were different. They all looked the same.
They’re not domestic ducks. They’re all wild American Wigeons.
American Wigeons like to winter in the southern states. Their breeding grounds are way north in Canada and Alaska.
