Barrow's Goldeneye (Bucephala islandica) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Feb 11, 2025 10:36 by Tom Edell
- San Luis Obispo Creek Lagoon, San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-120.7364416&<ll...>,-120.7364416 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S212928160 - Media: 2 Photos
- Comments: "Continuing female. Continually diving every 2 to 5 seconds and a bit backlit so not the best views today from the northern side of the lagoon. The head never as erect as seen on past visits but still showed a more prominently steep forehead than the Common Goldeneyes and a mostly yellow bill with a dark nail and mottled dark color at the base of the bill which appeared slightly shorter than the Common Goldeneyes."
