My apologies... I meant to send this to ontbirds earlier but in my hurry to get back to work from lunch break I sent it to the original finder. Read my email below:

The Eurasian Wigeon reported last night by Alan Wormington is still alive and well, in the same field Alan found it in. I'm on lunch break so I have to keep this brief, but Alan's directions are below. Good luck birding!

Late this afternoon I found a Eurasian Wigeon at the corner of Pelee Drive and Concession Road E.  The bird is in a flooded field with a massive concentration of other puddle ducks.

The bird is a "drab" male with a dull rusty head (not bright red) so I suspect it is a one-year-old.

Estimates of other birds in the same field include:

Mallard -- 1900
Northern Pintail -- 600
American Wigeon -- 450
Gadwall -- 450
Eastern Meadowlark -- 4

Just a quick note to say that the Eurasian Wigeon continues in the onion fields north of Point Pelee on the west end of Mersea Rd E. See below emails for more directions/info.
