What is interesting is that it doesn't have the clipped toe. All domestic birds are required as proof that its domestic to have the toe clipped. It just about verifies that this bird is simply just lost from half way around the world. I know of two people that have shot Eurasian Widgeon but those are the only two non NA waterfowl that I know of being shot. Very cool.
