Birders, This evening there was a female EURASIAN WIGEON associating with several male American Wigeon in the far SW corner of the Hillman Marsh Shorebird Cell. The bird showed a rich reddish/orange cast to its brown head, and lacked the black spot at the base of the bill as shown by female American's. Other highlights were a Marbled Godwit and a 3rd alternate Lesser Black-backed Gull.
