Observation details
One male, and one female, amongst group of goldeneyes near shore below Dam Road, about at MP 1.5. Most were tucked in a sleeping. At least one male, and one female, possibly more. Male distinguished by the degree of black amongst the "panel of white spots" (black with spots of white, instead of white with black divisions), by presence of black spur coming down across flank at back of breast, by white crescent-shaped spot behind eye, elongated vertically, reaching above eye, and by relatively blocky shape of head with steep forehead (see photos, have more). Female with dark brown blocky head, steep forehead, yellow bill (not black or grayish at all).
