Eurasian Wigeon in Beltrami County
2018-04-27

'Casual' in Minnesota - Five or fewer records in Beltrami County for the Spring season

We stopped to scan the waterfowl on Kolkin's Pond before heading to class in Bemidji this afternoon, and were shocked to see this beautiful drake Eurasian Wigeon pop out of the reeds! Bird is in the pond just off of Sunnyside Rd SE and Boulder Dr SE just southeast of Bemidji. The drake flies around every now and then and the pond can be viewed from three different roads. What a beautiful bird!
