A widgeon is a wild duck found in both Europe and America. The American widgeon, which is most abundant in the South, is often called the bald pate, from the white on the top of its head. It spends the winters in Central and South America and nests in Canada. The eggs, from seven to twelve in number, are buff-white. Widgeons are notorious for their trick of robbing canvasbacks and other diving ducks of the plant food picked from the beds of streams, by snatching it from their bills as they come out of the water.
