The male Barrow's Goldeneye was sighted again at 4:15pm this afternoon. The Barrow's was among a group of approximately 40 male and female Common Goldeneye (some of whom were displaying). The group was about 250-300 metres or so (my best guess - it's hard to judge distance!) out from shore at approximately the same level along the lakeshore as sighted before. A scope was definitely necessary this time.

This is the location where the Greater White Fronted Geese showed up last January for those familiar with the area. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If enough species are extinguished, will the ecosystems collapse, and will the extinction of most other species follow soon afterward? The only answer anyone can give is: possibly. By the time we find out, however, it might be too late. One planet, one experiment. --E.O.
