Just Friends (Wigeon Hen and Bufflehead Drake)

            Buffleheads (divers) are one of the Goldeneyes - they're a little over 12" long and usually weigh about 13 oz.  Bufflehead refers to their bulbous head shape.  They arrive at Lost Lagoon in the late Fall and migrate when spring comes, to habitats in northern / tundra areas. They're monogamous and like to nest in trees!  (Would just love to see little ones!)

Wigeons (dabblers) are about 17-23 in. long and weigh 1.5 to 2.5 lbs. Like the Bufflehead, they appear at the lagoon in the Fall and leave again in Spring.  Usually where there's one Wigeon, there's a flock - they're very social - and have a whistling call that they don't hesitate to exercise non-stop.
