It's hard to see anything wrong about it being a f Barrow's Goldeneye, not that I have a scintilla of experience with the duck. Any one? It's supposed to be around 20F with light winds in the morning. At the Zoo. Beats the hell out of driving to Massachussettes. Thanks for posting this, Eric, nice shots!

I was at the national Zoo today attempting to photograph wild ducks that were using the water ponds. I got one photo that appeared in retrospect to be a possible Barrow's Goldeneye. Would someone please help confirm or debunk this photograph. I compared the photo to Sibleys and used the All about birds at this link:

My photos are located at:

There are two photos.  Simply click next to view the second photograph.

This photo was taken in a small pond near the beavers across and to the left from the Eagle exhibit.

Thanks,
