Spanking (looking) males ducks. Edie Israel and I birded near the Florida Avenue bridge on the Platte. Barrow's Goldeneye was to the north of the bridge today (but sometimes is seen to the south). Last 6 of 7 trips, the bird has been within 100 yards of the bridge in both directions. To add to the great close up view of the Barrow's Goldeneye was a Red-breasted Merganser. Best Wishes and Good Birding Always: Charles Thornton-Kolbe P.S. Also around Bushtits, American Dipper, geese and ducks.
