Hybrid Goldeneye

[Christian Hagenlocher]

All,

Here’s several links (some of the same individual in British Columbia, Canada) showing various combinations of the hybrid between Common Goldeneye and Bufflehead. This hybrid is consistent with the duck Diane photographed. 

 I haven’t posted links to COBirds but I think this should work:

We looked at Diane Roberts' photo of the hybrid duck at Walker Pit - she saw it Thursday, we saw something practically identical today, probably the same bird. Her photo shows the black cap covering the eye whereas we could see more white in the face so that the eye popped out as a black dot in the white.

She deems it a Bufflehead/Com. Goldeneye hybrid. Can someone steer us to a source for that?

Thanks to Christian Hagenlocher for steering us to the picture (on the CFO Bird Alert Facebook page).
