Big Break at the Delta, Oakley, CA: 2-2-20










Female Common Goldeneye





They are diving ducks rather than dabbling ducks.




The common goldeneye is a medium-sized sea duck of the genus Bucephala, the goldeneyes. Its closest relative is the similar Barrow's goldeneye. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek boukephalos, a reference to the bulbous head shape of the bufflehead.
