Hi I’m posting this for Kevin McLaughlin who sighted an apparent male Bufflehead x Common Goldeneye hybrid from the parking lot on the Niagara River opposite the Old Fort. This is only his second sighting of this type of hybrid. Here are some notes from Kevin:
" It was a moderate distance out, consorting with Bufflehead. pretty distinctive with a lot of white on the side of the head and a peaked aspect to the head as well. It was staying on either side of the parking lot, diving constantly.” Directions: Directions: Follow the QEW towards Buffalo,USA. Take the Central Ave Exit (last exit before the USA. Turn right on Central Ave, then right onto Lakeshore Rd. Park in the lot across from the Old Fort Erie historic site.
