Hey all,For those interested I just spotted one Barrows Goldeneye with one common goldeneye on the river from the Unitil park (Gates are always locked so you can't drive in but you can park in the lot across the street) By the corner of Lincoln and Locust.Nice crescent, clean windows.I'll be uploading a picture later this evening.Happy birding,trish"A religion that doesn't interfere with the secular order will soon discover that the secular order will not refrain from interfering with it."—Venerable Fulton J.

I have been so busy with work tha I have not had a chance to investigate more closely, but if you have an interest in Barrows Goldeneye, you should check it out. There is definitely a flock of common goldeneye in the area and there is at least one Barrows in the group every year. I haven't seen one yet, but I'll have fun looking!Happy birding!"A religion that doesn't interfere with the secular order will soon discover that the secular order will not refrain from interfering with it."—Venerable Fulton J.

Gurnet Bridge on Route 24, at the Brunswick/Harpswell town line, has accurately been reported as a location to see this striking diving duck.Parking at Gurnet Bridge is tricky/limited so I wanted to share an alternative site nearby. Woodward Point Preserve has ample parking, is completely devoid of road traffic, and only requires a short walk to the east from the parking area to get to an overlook of the New Meadows River. I have seen a drake Barrow's Goldeneye from there both times I have visited the site this month, including this afternoon.Also of note there this afternoon was a flock of 59 Greater Scaup. Location information and distant images of the scaup can be found here:Best,Eric.....................Eric Hynes(he/him/his)Brunswick, ME----
