20140223 217 SERIES - Common Goldeneye.jpg

Ottawa West

Two wing-flapping images of a male Common Goldeneye.Note, there is a bald spot on top of his forehead, above the beak. I saw a female with a similar bald spot recently. Perhaps it is just their way of molting.

Top Image: Wings in/down.


Wings out/up.
