I spent a few hours in light rain this afternoon searching for the previously-reported Eurasian Wigeon at Funk Bottoms Wildlife Area. I couldn't find it from the viewing platform, though there were many American Wigeon to search through in the distance. After a birding group containing Jim McCormac came and left, I tried another angle. I found a pull-off (actually a couple) on route 95, from which it took only about 10 minutes to find the drake EURASIAN WIGEON. I got a very poor but identifiable pic of the bird next to an American Wigeon. I went looking for the group of birders (I had heard them say something about Wilderness Road), but couldn't find them. In the process, I did find 2 SNOW GEESE along Wilderness Road though. There are LOTS of waterfowl in and around the Funk Bottoms area, and I could see it being very shorebirdy in the next month or so.
