Hi all - apologies for the lack of information in my previous post and not
including the location.
In Ottawa at 8:00 a.m., a pair of common goldeneye (male and female) were
seen in the middle part of the river near the marsh area, along a patch of
floating ice.
Follow riverside drive east, the river is to your left, keep driving until
you've just about reached the bank street bridge. Parking available at
Billings Bridge and at the small lot near the river.
Indeed, they were common goldeneye and not mergansers. Apologies for the
'half-posting'.
Happy birding all.
