Three present
Im fairly confident these are goldeneyes based on the spot on their face and coloring. My favorite so it was super cool to see! I’ve never seen them in fresh water before. Males were doing courtship “dances” and all feeding. Sorry the pictures suck, i only had my phone but i so regret not bringing my camera
Looked a bit like wood duck feathers
Bird on right
Nesting island with small open water around some limited sections of island and lagoon edge.
At Hawk Watch 2024
i just don't know what is going on here - only ten meters deep.
I think that the Common Goldeneye is most visually similar to the photo I captured of the Bird.
I tried to zoom in but it degraded the photo when I did that and they spook easily so this was the best photo I could get with my phone.
