[cobirds] Summit County Barrow's Goldeneyes

Late this afternoon, I stopped by the Silverthorne Blue River Water Treatment Plant and saw 23+ Barrow's Goldeneyes along with several other species of duck and an American Coot.  There might have been 1-2 female Common Goldeneyes but I did not have time to really closely scrutinize.    In the next couple of days, I should have some more time to examine more closely.   Yesterday late afternoon, when I stopped by, the other species were there but not BAGO's.

Here is a copy of my eBird report:
