Hi Birders, Hans VanDer Zweep and I saw 3 juvenile Barrow's goldeneye at the Long Sault Parkway about 7:00 PM this evening. We first spotted them coming across the bridge to MacDonnell Island swimming and diving in the east bay. We turned in to the first road on the left and drove to the water's edge for a really good look through the scope. The head shape and markings on the wings plus the eye color convinced us they were Barrow's.
To get to this spot go to the east entrance of The Long sault Parkway (across from Tim Hortons). when you cross the second bridge, you are on MacDonnell Island.
