Late afternoon swim

  

Len wrote wondering whether the goldeneye I showed in last night's post might show some characteristics of a hybrid Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) x Barrow's Goldeneye (Bucephala islandica).  So I paused in the area again today and looked around a bit.  I only saw individuals that looked like Common Goldeneyes, but the ducks were a little closer to shore, so here's a better photo of a Common Goldeneye.  [That's a Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaicensis) in the background.]
