Barrow's Goldeneye (Male)

This is the last image from Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park. (Not the greatest background in the world, but it will have to do!) Thanks very
much for all of your comments on the images in this gallery.

A medium-sized duck, this species is aptly named for its golden-yellow eye. Adult males have a dark head with a purplish or bluish gloss
and a white crescent below the eye, a dark back, a white neck and belly, and a series of white squares along the sides above the
wings. They are found in the lakes and rivers of boreal forests across Canada and the northern United States,
Scandinavia, and northern Russia.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/320s f/6.3 at 340.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

A good shot of this beautiful duck Jay. We only see them occasionally here and then usually from afar. Sylvan Heights has given you some terrific photo ops as evidenced by your many great postings.
