If the wigeon isn't at the pond on Willow Street, another couple of places in the Canon City area, that have wigeon, are Centennial Park and Sell's Pond. There are always a lot of wigeon during the day on the grass and pond at Centennial Park in the west part of Canon City, and early in the morning yesterday, there were quite a few wigeon at Sells Pond off Sells Road in Canon City, though they left fairly early, before sunrise, probably heading to Centennial Park. There are other ponds around Canon City, so the wigeon could turn up somewhere else too. Many birders were able to see the Eurasian Wigeon yesterday during the Penrose CBC, and I think this is the first one to be found in Fremont County! Hopefully the bird stays for the winter, some have in the past in Colorado. Another great find by Dan Maynard and Bill Maynard.
