Observation details
Adult male, dark back, black spur into breast, elongated bottom heavy white crescent on face. Associating closely with Common Goldeneye. Seen on Lake Ontario proper off cobble beach south shore of Prince Edward Point slightly to the west of the lighthouse. Photographed. Goldeneye are much warier than other ducks in the area, so approach water carefully. Heavy ice inshore has moved a lot of ducks around and towards Prince Edward Point, perhaps including the goldeneye that winter in numbers off the south Cressy shore. Many more goldeneye than usual at Prince Edward Point today.
