I thought I?d offer this ?overheard? from my Padilla Bay CBC scouting trip:
An elderly woman at the Cornet Bay Marina turned to her soon to be surf
smelt- jigging husband and commented on the cute ?duck family?. I glanced
out to see a male Common Goldeneye swimming away from the pier followed
closely by 6-7 female Buffleheads. I ducked the issue by not
responding.........
