There was a Barrow's Goldeneye in a mixed flock of Common Goldeneyes and
Scaup (~29 birds total) at Dartmouth Cove this morning.  He appears from
the extent of the dark "spur" on his shoulder to be a full Barrow's as
opposed to the hybrid Barrow's that was in the same location and.
coincidentally, on the same date back in 2012.  The 2012 hybrid had a very
much shorter "spur".   I posted a couple of pictures from this morning in
my 2019 gallery at the following link - note the titles for date of taking:

I think it is interesting that the dates across 7 years are the same, as is
the mix of ducks he hangs out with.  The question would be;  could it be
the same bird, seven years older, and with a more "mature" dark spur?
