Observation details
Common Goldeneye with interesting markings: I was hoping the extensive yellow on the bill would indicate at least a hybrid Common / Barrow’s Goldeneye but the Sibley’s blog regarding these hybrids indicates that the bird was a Common Goldeneye. https://www.sibleyguides.com/2010/01/identification-of-hybrid-female-goldeneyes/ Still, I wish I had stayed on the bird longer and gotten photos with a better head profile but she was keeping half an eye on me as we were within 10 meters. I just assumed the close-ups would be good enough. Lesson learned.
