One of the three wigeons, this beautiful birds in the South American version. Both Male and Female are beautifully colored anly some slight difference identify the sexes. This bird seems to enjoy secluded ponds or large opening in the bullrush to spend time. Their flock flying reminded me of a flock of butterflies when settling into the decoys.
