Only if you are in the neighborhood of Roque Bluffs and birding at the bridge over the Englishmans River, you might check the view to Englishmans Bay from a culvert, close to the entrance to Cow Point. On recent mornings between 9-10:30am, high tide, Wally has been seeing a single Goldeneye offshore for a couple of weeks, including today. He does not have a camera and does not carry a scope in these icy weather conditions. It's most likely a Common Goldeneye which is common here. Vickery's Birds of Maine mentions that the more uncommon
Bucephala islandica is sometimes reported in Englishmans Bay, near Englishmans River bridge. So, IF you are birding at this reported bridge spot at high tide it would take you about 10 minutes round-trip to drive up to Cow Point and take a quick look there from the culvert location The road is private beyond this point, and it becomes impassable due to ice and snow, and most of it is Posted and/or gated, so is not recommended. But the entrance, where the tidal marsh is frozen today still has a few American Black ducks on the bay side, now and then, and on 25 January, very briefly, a small flock of Canada geese (fuzzy photo attached).,
