Hi Guys- I can't 100% positive, but I really think I saw that Barrows Goldeneye off Centre Island Beach & no i do not have a scope or pix :- ( I did sit infront of the police booth on the rocks for a really long time - prob 1/2 an hour before I was frozen and the sun slipped behind Oak Point. Does anyone know if it was in the company of a female? This bird was. They were pretty far out and the Sound was pretty choppy - but based on the less round shape of the white spot, the amount of black on the back and the shape of the head, I'd say Barrows, but I'm willing to be corrected. There was nothing else around to compare it to - not even a scaup and the Brants were too close to shore.
