I made a quick visit to the Tennis Club. We had seen a male Barrow’s Goldeneye at Remic Rapids recently, so was not sure what to expect. But virtually the first duck I spotted was a male Barrow’s Goldeneye with a bunch of Common Goldeneye.
There were a couple of other suspicious characters, which may have been hybrids. I was just getting on them when a fly-by flock of Mallards spooked the whole crowd, and they all took off.
I moved upstream to where most of them had landed, but could not relocate those ducks, only the male Barrow’s and a possible female.
There were two male Common Mergansers and one female enjoying the open water.
The only other ducks were American Blacks and Mallards.
