OK you got me , what's a storm Widgeon
They are wigeon that carry the white or blonde color all around their head. Wigeon normally have grayish/black flecking.

A good specimen is pretty rare. I'd say even more rare than a Eurasian Wigeon in the continental US.

Nick,

I've been involved in a lot of widgeon being taken over the years. I've never seen or heard of a friend ever taking one (storm).....On the other hand, I've held 2 euros.

Trig, I know they are seeing more and more eurasian wigeon up north every year.

I still want one.
