A few American Wigeons mixed with Mallards at the sewage treatment plant on the Norwalk River across from the Maritime Center while looking for the Eurasian Wigeon that often shows here.

Hi Ian,

A male Eurasian Wigeon was at 14 Acre Pond in Norwalk yesterday. It’s possibly the same one that’s been there in previous years. My observation has been that it usually stays there until the pond freezes over. Then it moves to another location, like the spot you’re referring to on the Norwalk River. However, it would be interesting if there turned out to be TWO.
