I observed a drake BARROWS GOLDENEYE on a raft of approximately 100
COMMON GOLDENEYE on the West Pond at Jamaica Bay early this morning.
I was aware that a BARROWS was around Jamaica Bay again this winter
since the Brooklyn Christmas Count when it was spotted by Doug Gochfeld.
I arrived at the breach along the south dike about 7:10 in the half
light. Although some Goldeneye were already in the air when I
arrived, the BARROWS stayed put until about 7:30 affording me
repeated good scope views.
Good luck if you go!
