Thanks for sharing! Love Colusa, how’s the air there.
Glad to hear from you, Frisco. We checked the air quality and it was good per the website. It was not bad at all when we went up on Monday, certainly better than an hour south, where we came from.

Nice series, Katy. I have not seen one of those before. Perhaps they aren't in our flyway.
Thanks, Ken. They are not common here and we have to search carefully to find them. This one, however, was a piece of cake!

This Eurasian Wigeon was the first thing we spotted when arriving at Colusa NWR a few days ago. At first we thought it was a hybrid but when checking out my book, it appears to be a red-morph female. That may explain why she was trying to link up with a male American Wigeon. It was a sad sight to watch as they were all spurning her attempts to swim with them. We only see a handful of Eurasians each season.
Katy, excellent set and the decriptions are always appreciated.
