The Barrow's Goldeneye was not seen today. We searched up and down river.
Several common Goldeneye were seen diving between the floating ice chunks
that the warm weather produced. Birding with Alyssa Murphy.

I found an adult male Barrow's Goldeneye along the North Shore of Lake Superior
adjacent to the Lakewood Road, St. Louis County this evening with 124 Common
Goldeneyes. Since most of Lake Superior was frozen in Duluth, I decided to head
up the shore a bit to see if birds were concentrated any pl

that stands out is the very black back with several (6) nea

Found the bird in large flock of COGOs. The bird apparently moves up and down

The Barrows Goldeneye, found yesterday by Kyle TePoel at the Grand Rapids

It was paired up with a female which appeared to be a common Goldeneye.
They flew several times between the 4 ponds near the entrance to the

Kyle is correct...the male Barrow's Goldeneye is a pretty easy ID and was
quite approachable. I was able to note the teardrop-shaped spot behind the
