American Wigen in flight

Very nice image and presentation. I'm glad to see American Wigeons are over at Coyote Hills as I'll be there next week. I hope I can be half as successful as you were with this photo! 6/6 anon

I've never been to Coyote Hills so I look forward to seeing the wildlife there. I appreciate the listing!
