I just recently had a female Barrows Goldeneye in a flock of 60+ goldeneye off of Oak Neck Beach in Bayville. Parts of the flock took off to the east and I haven’t been able to relocated the Barrows in a brief search of the nearby coast, though it is likely still nearby.
Additionally, there is an hatch year goldeneye with a very stubby bill in the flock that might provide some interesting study.
