The American wigeon has very large winter and breeding ranges that
spread north to the tips of Alaska and Canada, and south through Mexico
to the northern parts of South America. Winter distribution is
concentrated in the lower 48 states and all of Mexico, excluding high
elevation Rocky Mountain and Appalachian areas. Breeding takes place
mostly in western Canada but is spread throughout northwestern North
America. (Animal Diversity Web)
