wigeons
Whistling marsh ducks
Wigeons are medium-sized freshwater ducks with short bills and rounded heads.
The American wigeon has a distinctive white crown, while the Eurasian wigeon sports a chestnut head with a cream stripe.
They're dabbling ducks—feeding at the surface rather than diving—and are known for grazing on land more than most ducks.
A flock of wigeons grazed the golf course.
