		Chiloe widgeons join the very small number of waterfowl species that have managed to cross the hostile South Atlantic (Drake Passage) separating the tip of South America from Antarctica.

	A PRESUMED WILD HYBRID BALDPATE X EURASIAN WIGEON
		A presumed hybrid Eurasian Wigeon x Teal (Anas crecca) showed a head pattern reminiscent of the Lenkhoran specimen (Harrison, 1962) and a captive mating between A. penelope and a Chiloe Wigeon (A. sibila- trix) produced a hybrid which strikingly resembled the Baldpate (Shore- Bailey, 1918).
		In the central states, the Eurasian Wigeon is reported mostly in the spring or summer (131 out of 165 dated records) suggesting that either some east coast birds may also come from Siberia or that the main spring migration route is up the Mississippi flyway (Hasbrouck, 1944).
		In wigeon, as in all the other well studied ducks of the genus Anas, pairing of experienced adults takes place by March on the wintering grounds and the already paired birds migrate to the breeding grounds.

		Chiloe is a rural and tranquil island that's good for birds, with an assortment of habitats.

		These pretty ducks are very closely related to the American wigeon that is so common each winter in the flooded rice fields and wetlands of California's Central Valley, surrounding Sacramento.
		The Chiloe is the South American version of our native wigeon, but it, too, if found nowhere near Lake Maracaibo.
		On the contrary, as suggested by its two alternative English names, southern wigeon and Chilean wigeon, the Chiloe is restricted to southern South America, south of Central Argentina, including the Falkland Islands.

		Finally American Wigeon usually has a dark line at the base of the bill and possibly slightly less extensive green on the nape.
		However a large proportion of birds initially reported as American Wigeons turn out to be hybrids (sometimes involving escaped Chiloe Wigeons not American Wigeons).
		I'm not sure what your bird's parentage is. Often Eurasian Wigeon hybrids have more reddish colour in the cheeks, and Chiloe Wigeon hybrids (which are often the most similar to American Wigeon) tend to have more reddish brown on the flanks.

		It was essentially an ordinary drake Wigeon, except for a large glossy green flash behind each eye.
		Many drake Eurasian Wigeons show a small amount of green behind the eye, but none in the flock came close to this individual.
		After Andy Mackay's corres-pondence with Jeff Higgott and Andrew Harrop, it would appear that a small proportion of Eurasian Wigeons can show this head pattern, although the possibility of some American or Chiloe Wigeon influence can't be entirely ruled out.

		In particular, the head pattern is odd - a definite brown tinge to the cheeks, and very fine speckling, rather than the more usual pale grey cheeks with larger flish flecks.
		This bird was then relegated to an American Wigeon x Chiloe Wigeon hybrid.
		It appears to show quite a warm head-stripe esp on the forehead and a sharply demarkated head pattern rather than the usual well-defined smudge of pure American Wigeon.

		And, it was also nice to see, on Chiloe Island, the Chiloe Wigeon.
