An American Wigeon in Paradise!

Hola Amigos - Yesterday we received word that an American Wigeon had turned up in Paraiso "Paradise".  I believe it was found by Ernesto Carmen, Strong Work Ernesto!!!  We quckly grabbed our stuff and drove over to the site.  We met our friend Peter Westra at the pond and began our search.  After a few minutes of scanning the small pond we finally found our target.  We watched this attractive duck (a drake in eclipse) cruising around with several Blue-winged Teals.  We also saw 5 Northern Shovelers on the same pond.    

Magda and I missed an American Wigeon a couple years back near Jaco on the Pacific Coast, so this was especially SWEET!!!
