On further review it looks like our recent Eurasian Wigeon may actually be a
hybrid American x Eurasian (dark area around eye, lighter cheek etc.)
Apologies to all for the bad steer on this one.

An enthusiastic band of Brooklyn Bird Club members hit a few sites in Kings
County today.
In addition to the expected species we saw a drake Eurasian Wigeon at Coney
Island Creek. At the same spot Dennis Hrehowsik found what we presume to be a
partially leucistic Ring-billed Gull.
