Does anyone else think that Barrow's goldeneyes have increased in the Puget
Sound area in recent years? I see them in places I wasn't used to seeing
them, and it seems they are more ubiquitous and more common than when I
arrived here over two decades ago. Perhaps the blue mussels they eat have
become more common? I think you would have to have lived here for 5-10
years or more to detect the change I think I detect.
