Thanks George. =20
Could be and offspring! I did some back-checking of my files and found tha=
t I had photographed the =E2=80=9CHybrid=E2=80=9D Barrow=E2=80=99s at Dartm=
outh Cove in 2008, 2012 and now 2019. Also, I caught a pair of males =E2=
=80=93 not hybrids =E2=80=93 and a female at Rainbow Haven in 2009. I crea=
ted a new gallery with just these birds for benefit of comparison. And jus=
t for good measure, I included a couple from a trip in 2009 to Haines Alask=
a.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Barrow's Goldeneye
Hi,
Interesting that these birds frequent the same areas from year to year. Ple=
ase look at the 2012 photo (3/65), notice the female Barrows Goldeneye, (fi=
rst bird on left) yellow bill and steep forehead. Maybe the 2019 bird is an=
offspring!
Cheers, George Forsyth

There was a Barrow's Goldeneye in a mixed flock of Common Goldeneyes and Sc=
aup (~29 birds total) at Dartmouth Cove this morning.=C2=A0 He appears from=
the extent of the dark "spur" on his shoulder to be a full Barrow's as opp=
osed to the hybrid Barrow's that was in the same location and. coincidental=
ly, on the same date back in 2012.=C2=A0 The 2012 hybrid had a very much sh=
orter "spur". =C2=A0 I posted a couple of pictures from this morning in my =
2019 gallery at the following link - note the titles for date of taking:
https://scranlocker.smugmug.com/Nature/Nature-2019/n-Pfrc5T/
I think it is interesting that the dates across 7 years are the same, as is=
the mix of ducks he hangs out with.=C2=A0 The question would be;=C2=A0 cou=
ld it be the same bird, seven years older, and with a more "mature" dark sp=
ur?
