A male Barrow's (or mostly Barrow's) Goldeneye was present in the
Wheatridge Greenbelt on 1/13. It was swimming in Clear Creek east
(downstream) of Youngfield St. This is almost certainly the same bird I
saw on Tabor Lake in the greenbelt last December. The plumage is perfect
for Barrow's as near as I can tell, but the head shape appears more like
Common Goldeneye to me - it is more "triangular" in shape without the
steep forehead typical of Barrow's. An interesting bird.
