A wigeon is a type of duck found across North America and Eurasia. It's also known by several other names, including Eurasian wigeon, American wigeon, baldpate, and pintail duck. These synonyms are often used interchangeably to refer to the same species, but they may also refer to slightly different subspecies or regional variations. For example, the Eurasian wigeon is mainly found in Europe and Asia, while the American wigeon is primarily found in North America. Regardless of the name used, wigeons are known for their distinctive whistling calls, colorful plumage, and impressive migrations across great distances.
