	Goldeneye Duck
		Male Common Goldeneyes have flish iridescent green heads with a white circular patch between the eye and the base of the bill.
		The combined goldeneye (Barrow's and Common) breeding population for the eastern survey area was estimated at 1 million birds in 2001.
		Common Goldeneyes use brackish estuarine and saltwater bays and deep freshwater habitats in the winter and dive to feed on a wide variety of available animal life.

	eNature: Boreal Bird Detail
		Considering that the combined summer and winter ranges of this species essentially blanket the U.S. and Canada, the Common Goldeneye, known to hunters as the "Whistler," is surprisingly unfamiliar to the general public.
		The Common Goldeneye nests in tree cavities in mature forests - and, in northern areas, in rock cavities - near wetlands, lakes, and rivers.
		Females of this and other cavity-nesting ducks often "dump" their eggs in other females' unattended nests, especially in areas where nest sites are scarce.

	WDFW -- PHS Management Recommendations Vol IV: Birds
		In Washington, cavity-nesting ducks nest primarily in late-successional forests and riparian areas adjacent to low gradient rivers, sloughs, lakes, and beaver ponds (Thomas 1979, Brown 1985, Parker 1990).
		All of these ducks are known to accumulate toxins in their tissues, especially in areas where toxins are elevated, such as downstream from mines, pulp and paper mills, and in the Great Lakes (Blus et al.
		Cavity-nesting ducks use natural cavities with minimum entrance size of 9 cm (3.5 in) in diameter and minimum internal dimensions of 25 cm (10 in) deep and 19 cm (7.5 in) diameter.

	Common Goldeneye
		Goldeneyes inhabit the northern regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
		The Common Goldeneye nests in the northern U.S., southern Alaska and most of Canada and winters throughout Canada and as far south as California, Texas, Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean.
		The Common Goldeneye Nestbox has a 12" by 12" floor, 24" inside ceiling, 5" wide by 4" high oval entrance hole located 22" (to the top of the hole) above the floor and ventilation openings.

	BoG-WiG Goldeneye Ducks
		Goldeneye ducks used to be thought of as just winter visitors to Scotland, but have now become a consistent breeding species, mostly due to the large number of nesting boxes that are provided by enthusiasts.
		RSPB and Scottish Natural Heritage are experimenting with sheets of shiny plastic and metal which they wrap around the trees in the hope that they will be too slippery for the pine martens to climb.
		The ducks took to the boxes like - well, ducks - and laid14 eggs in one and 16 in the other.

		We examine the consequences of these behaviors to the population dynamics of Barrow's and Common Goldeneyes during a 10 year study period in central British Columbia.
		We test this hypothesis using (1) a comparative analysis of the Anseriformes and (2) field studies and molecular genetic analyses of interspecific hybridization in goldeneyes.

	Goldeneye :: History
		Their vision for Goldeneye was simple: to craft a distinctively California Pinot Noir of equal stature to their acclaimed Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot.
		In 1996, the first 80-acre estate vineyard was selected, and the winery was officially christened after the Goldeneye duck whose migratory path crosses the region.
		A strong advocate of the Anderson Valley and its potential to produce some of the finest Pinot Noirs in the world, Zach underscores his belief that quality is determined in the vineyard with a gentle, minimalist approach to winemaking.

	Wood Duck
		Wood Ducks are found in eastern North America from southern Canada to the southern coast of the United States.
		In northern areas, Wood Ducks arrive on the breeding ground soon after the ice thaws, usually in early May. There are, however, reports of Wood Ducks in Canada beginning to nest as early as the second week of April.
		A Wood Duck's nest is typically found 3 to 60 feet off the ground in a natural hole in the trunk or limb of a large tree.
