Good suggestion, Doug? but are you sure that it could not have been a Barrow?s Goldeneye x Hooded Merganser?? I think we are agreed that there is Hooded Merganser in there somewhere.



All the best,

This one is likely a common goldeneye/hooded merganser.

Today I stopped in Tacoma on my way south to look for the female King Eider, which I did find. While I was there I saw another duck, though, and it has me stumped. Here is a link to a page that shows a couple of pictures of it.

I'm thinking it must be a hybrid of one of the goldeneye species. Any ideas?
