Common Goldeneye (Large Ducks by AAA)

The genus Bucephala contains three species of small diving ducks collectively referred to as goldeneyes. I am lucky that all three species can be found in my area in the winter.

Among the rafts of ducks, a tucked-down cluster of #AmericanWigeon; several exotically gaudy #HoodedMerganser males, pied and crested; and a lone female #CommonGoldeneye lifting her brown head from the water. A #EurasianCollaredDove pair courses overhead. A camouflaged #BrownCreeper spirals up a tree trunk - glad I can still detect its sweet, high-frequency call notes!

After 3 days of blustery winter weather it was nice to get a #hike in at #PioneerTower along the #GrandRiver in #Kitchener, #Ontario.

We hiked 8.8KM along the river & spotted some #birds that we thought would have migrated south by now:

#GreatBlueHeron (what???)
#CommonMergansers
#Robins (AKA Christmas Robins LOL)

We also spotted these year-round birds:
#CanadaGeese
#CommonGoldenEye
#Chickadees
#Mallards
#BaldEagle (Juvenile)
#RedTailHawks
#SongSparrow
#Merlin

A great day indeed!
