Re: [cobirds] Flat Tops...waterfowl identification help?

Really! - Noting that the range maps can be 'off' - even Sibleys suggests that Barrow's is 'rarely' found here; certainly not 'nesting'.  The image of a Common Goldeneye duckling in Sibley's looks just like the photo - but they 'apparently' don't nest here either!  Fortunately, birds don't read the range maps

Cool

They look like duckling goldeneyes. Barrow's Goldeneye nests there at Trapper's.

We were hiking above Trappers Lake and came across these 4 waterfowl.  Thoughts on what they are?  First thought was a Ruddy in summer but they did not have the Ruddy beak or tail and these have a shoulder white streak and white patch on the rump.
