I can't tell you the number of times I've stumbled across a flock out in the middle of a field in a "rain puddle", nowhere near a tank or lake. Always a pleasant surprise.

They may be my favorite duck,hard to beat a fully plumed widgeons.

I love me some widgeon!! We limited out last weekend on one group of widgeon while out goose hunting winter wheat. We managed to call the same group of birds into the spread 3 consecutive times until we reached our limit. Hoping to do it again in the am so I can get one to the taxi.

My favorite ducks

Cool pictures, interesting to find one big flock of all widgeon.

There's a wheat field down from where we hunt that's holding THOUSANDS on widgeon! Unfortunately, the owner of the field won't let anyone hunt it due to a prior bad experience. Pretty amazing sight none the less.

Love me some wigeon

Awesome!!

I have noticed this year with the stock tank and lake levels extremely low causing a shortage of aquatic forage that ducks,most notably Wigeon, are grazing wheat fields. While I have seen ducks in the wheat before it is nothing like the numbers I have seen this year grazing like they were geese or sheep. Nature finds a way to survive.

Most beautiful duck there ever was.

Great pics

Ducks are a beautiful site. Love seeing flocks like that

They sure are suckers for a some green grass next to a puddle to land in. Funny how one species will act a little bit different then all the others under certain circumstances.
