The following message is a forward from Ed Talbott in response to my question.
I had a single male Common Goldeneye at Middlebrook Lake, Bristol, Sullivan
Co., TN, Friday, 13 Feb. -- Wallace Coffey, Bristol, TN
Wallace,
......Their were 9 Common Goldeneye. It was a very long look through the scope
- 1 males and 8 females. I could see some field marks on the male but the
females all I could tell was a brown head, gray body, with some white showing
through at the secondaries for the females which would tend to rule out scaup.
I would say I'm only about 90% confident with the call as the viewing
conditions were not good. They were out from the far bank looking into
Virginia - just below the park/campers.

Area Birders,
Michelle, Chazzy and I decided to head out and do some birding today. At
Whitetop we found lots of Red-breasted Nuthatches, Black-capped Chickadees,
Pine Siskins, and Ravens. At Musick's we found a small raft of Goldeneye. In
the cove behind Musick's we found three Sandhill Cranes.
For those interested, here is a link to some hike pictures and a write-up of
our day:
