These two male Goldeneyes were swimming together in Puget Sound. The tide was low so I walked on the beach very close to the water and took this shot a couple of weeks ago. "Common Goldeneyes are frequent winter residents in Puget Sound and on large Washington rivers. The male Common Goldeneye has a dark iridescent-green head that looks black when not in the sun. He also has a prominent round or oval white spot on each side of his face at the base of his black bill. His belly and flanks are white, and his rump is black. His back is mostly white with black bars." Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
