RFI: Barrow's Goldeneye

[Chris Edwards]

Has anyone looked for the Barrow’s Goldeneye at Maffitt Reservoir in the past few days?  I was contemplating a trip tomorrow, but the last report I saw was Tuesday morning.  Thanks.

We had no luck on Tuesday, although it was seen mid-morning before we arrived but not the rest of the day. Multiple people were there off and on during the day, none relocating  it.  We stayed until sunset. 

I haven’t seen any eBird reports of it since that time.
