A male Barrow's Goldeneye, a black-and-white diving duck, sitting on water after a quick dive. Water is dripping from bill and beaded across back.
Once the ice melts in western Wyoming, the Barrow's Goldeneyes are among the first ducks to arrive. #birds, #barrowsgoldeneye, #wyoming

Photo of Two Barrow's Goldeneye ducks, one male & one female swimming away from the camera to the left of the picture. Their heads are turned to the right. The male is in the foreground with the female one duck width behind. Their poses are matched such that they look as if they are taking part in a synchronized swimming event.

Winter's Quiet Elegance
This morning, I captured a photo of a Barrow's Goldeneye amidst gently falling snow.
Beautiful birds 🙂

Image: Three Barrow's Goldeneye ducks paddling in a line astern. They are in profile facing the left side of the image along the center line. Other than the relatively smooth water ( there are small horizontal ripples) only the ducks are visible in the picture. The first two ducks are closer together, with about half a duck length between them. The second and third duck have a full duck length between them.
