Wigeon landing

Ed Gaillard: birds &emdash; American Wigeon landing, Central Park Reservoir

Tuesday I was at the Reservoir. An American Wigeon was sleeping peacefully on teh east side with some Black Ducks. I waited for some time. My patience was eventually rewarded when the Wigeon woke up and flew a short distance to join a group of Shovelers.

The Red-Necked Grebe was still present on the west side, steadily coming into breeding plumage and fishing actively and successfully.

I'm not sure how it managed to swallow this big fish.
