[cobirds] Barrow's Goldeneye-So.Platte @ Overland, Denver Co.

Hadn’t seen a post about a continuing male BARROW’S GOLDENEYE here on CoBirds for a while, so thought I’d drop a note to the group in case some of you aren’t trolling eBird.  This beaut was feeding in the South Platte River today (Sat., 29 Jan.’22) about ¼ mile upstream (south) of the Florida St. bridge adjacent to the Overland Gold Course (Denver Co.) – apparently the usual spot for the past month or so (maybe the past couple of years?).  If you are out, worth a try as the views are close of this beautiful duck.

 

Good Birding,
