American Wigeon at Pinecrest Creek

January 19, 2018

There have been several reports of a male American Wigeon at Pinecrest Creek, notably by friend Derek Dunnett of Ottawa Field Naturalits' Club. So after lunch we headed over to look for it. As soon as we started on the trail, a cyclist, upon seeing our cameras, told us about an unusual duck up ahead.  Sure enough, there he was out of the water and putting on a fine show.  There were also hundreds of Mallards and a few American Black Ducks in the water.
