I know I've seen these before, but I've never photographed them until yesterday. Beautiful birds, huh ?

 

I can't seem to find them on any North Western Waterfowl lists.....

 Thank you Darren Their were actually 'regular' Goldeneyes there too, but I tried mostly for these, as I'd never shot them before.....

Sure thing! We don't have these here in VA, but sure wish we did. They're a lovely sight on the water, I'll warrant!

man yall have all kinds of ducks and cool birds out there. i never see anything on the water duck-wise but mallards...

What is amazing is all the similar looking ducks in S. America, went there recently and was floored looking at the hunting lodge pics!

Thanks for the pics.  They're beautiful.

yup, golden eyes, you know they're coming by a distinct whistling of their wings. Not very good to eat, great pics.

Thanks guys

 

These are the typical Goldeneyes we have...
