 A pair of Barrow's Goldeneyes floating on the now vast expanse of open water.
Why are these Barrow's Goldeneyes and not Common Goldeneyes? Two significant distinguishing features on the male:
1) The white patch in front and below the eye is a long oblong. In the Common Goldenye, it is a roundish splotch.
2) The back of the Barrow's Goldeneye has much more black showing with just some white patches in a line. The Common Goldeneye back has quite a bit more white "ladder like" markings.
