Just a little European Wigeon, pausing in the middle of preening to check me out.  Nothing special, but I love these little beauties, they have such a sweet expression!

10D. Sigma 100-300F4 + 1.4TC.  ISO 400. F7.1.

A good-looking Wigeon posed perfectly, Carol. I love the “sweet expression,” and the detail is razor sharp. Excellent image!

I like the Wigeon breasted color that matches the water color reflection and he looks at peace with you, good stuff CAROL.

Carol, love the thoughtful eye contact and the pause in preening to acknowledge the admirer.  Beautiful, rich color markings captured along with complementary water BG.  Such a delightful subject and image - as sweet as can be!

I love the colors on this Wigeon. Sweet pose. Here ,we have American Wigeon and males have green color on the sides of the head.

A nice portrait...we have quite a few Asian widgeons that travel with the Americans in Oregon. They breed with each other.
