	Common Goldeneye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) is a medium sized sea duck of the genus Bucephala, the goldeneyes.
		They are usually quite common in winter around lakes of Britain and some are trying to be encouraged to nest in nestboxes which are put up to try and have them there all year round.
		The name fits; this is the most common goldeneye.

		Common Goldeneyes have recently begun to take advantage of northern areas with industrial effluent discharge, which keeps the water free of ice in areas that are typically frozen in the winter.
		Common Goldeneyes' use of these disturbed environments is of concern because of the possible short- and long-term effects of toxins that may also be found in these areas.
		Common Goldeneyes are among the least common breeding ducks in Washington, found nesting only in the northeastern portion of the state, with most birds nesting in north-central and northeastern Canada.

	Birds of Nova Scotia - Barrow's Goldeneye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		As Jones (1885) noted, the two goldeneyes were probably not distinguished in Nova Scotia before the discussion of their differences by Gilpin (1880).
		Adult female and immatures: In life it is difficult to distinguish females and immatures of this species from those of the Common Goldeneye, but the rounder, darker heads of the Barrow's females and, in late winter and spring, their completely yellow bills, are good field marks.
		Because Barrow's Goldeneyes sometimes mingle with their more common relatives, to which they bear a marked resemblance, and because so few hunters distinguish one species from the other when shot, it may be that this species occurs here in winter more frequently than the relatively few records indicate.

		The wings of this species produce a loud whistling sound in flight, easily identified even when the birds cannot be seen; hunters call this species the "Whistler." Goldeneyes can dive to depths of 20 feet (6 meters) or more, but generally limit themselves to about 10 feet (3 meters).
		In winter, goldeneyes feed mainly on mollusks; in summer, their diet shifts to aquatic plants and insects.
