Subject: [southbaybirds] Opinions on two female Goldeneyes
Last Friday along Alviso Slough there were many goldeneyes, mostly Commons,
and mostly females. There was one obvious female Barrow's with a bright
orange/yellow bill. There were also 2 or 3 females with all yellowish
bills that weren't bright. The foreheads of the birds also seemed to come
down at a greater angle than Commons. I've attached a photo that shows 2
of said birds and I'm looking for identification help.

Thanks in advance!
