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.]
If you're interested in using any of these photographs in any way, please contact me. Send an e-mail to naturalhistoryphotos(at)gmail.com. Thanks!
