The image captures a close-up view of a male Common Goldeneye duck perched on a dark, rough-textured log that occupies the lower portion of the frame. The duck is facing to the left, with its head turned slightly towards the viewer. Its most striking feature is its iridescent emerald green head, which gleams in the light, contrasting with the white patch just below its beak and its bright, alert yellow eye.

Emerald head, golden eye… and one perfect white cheek.  ❤️ A Common Goldeneye glowing in the soft light at Lost Lagoon.

A pair of Common Goldeneye diving ducks. In Massachusetts, they're winter visitors found along the coast and in open water, identified by their large, rounded heads and bright yellow eyes. The male has an iridescent dark green head with a circular white patch, black back, and white sides. The female has a chocolate-brown head, gray body, and a black bill tipped with yellow. These were two of six that I saw making their way down the Concord River at Great Meadows NWR in Concord, Massachusetts. I was on the other side of the river but was able to get a few shots of them.

Today's Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Green, any bird with green in its plumage. I loved seeing this pair of #CommonGoldeneye ducks on the #ConcordRiver! (Concord, MA - 3/13/26) 💚👁️

Just checked Blue sky again after a long time and saw the #BirdoftheDay theme: #BirdsInTheirElement and/or #Seabirds. I took this photo of the #CommonGoldeneye a couple of days ago and thought it would be a great fit 🙂

A male Common Goldeneye makes a giant KERSPLOOSH in the water as it enthusiastically perpetuates a mating dance.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #WaterBirds. I have approximately seven million pictures of water birds and find it hard to choose, but here, in honour of #ValentinesDay, is a particularly enthusiastic male #CommonGoldeneye in the middle of a courtship ritual.

Two male Common Goldeneyes flying low over icy water. Their black-and-white plumage is clearly visible, with rocky breakwaters blurred in the background. 氷の浮かぶ水面の上を低く飛ぶホオジロガモのオス2羽。白黒のコントラストがはっきりした羽色で、背景には消波ブロックがぼけて写っている。

Today didn’t quite go as planned, and I hardly came across any birds 😢
Well… days like this happen too. 🪶

This female Common Goldeneye duck has a brown head with yellow eyes, a brown/gray back and wings with some white and a white collar on the neck. The bill is black with yellow at the tip. The duck is swimming in one of the ponds with reflections of green and brown reeds and of the duck itself at Ellis Creek Wetlands in Petaluma, California in February.

Today's #BOTD theme is ducks. Here's a pretty female #CommonGoldeneye swimming through reflections of wetland reeds in Petaluma, California (Feb 2021) 🤎🤩

近隣川河口 コガモにしては頭が茶色に見えたので📷向けたら金瞳で全然、コガモじゃないですやん。 (ホオジロガモ)

遅いようにございます。
何か違和感覚えるなと📷を向けた結果❗️
コガモじゃございませんでした。
(雄は居なかったかと？)
近隣河口お立ち寄り有難うございました。💕
まだ、木曜日なのね。
金曜かと思ったよ。😓

Male Goldeneye in flight

Male Common Goldeneyes migrate through Southern Ontario every winter. Their sharp black-and-white plumage, yellow eyes, and circular cheek patch are key ID features.

Competition
Mid-Winter encounters on the cold river, setting the stage,
For things to come in Spring, numbers increasing for some...others
Must wait for their turn, when the Seasons circle back once again.

予想通りの場所にいたが、予想通り遠かった。
雄は頻繁に潜って餌を捕り、浮き上がってから呑み込んでいた。

Showing Off
A small inlet with swirling water, waves move all directions.
On the cold surface, a daily competition has begun.
A cold battle of body, mind, and spirit for the future.
