The Barrow's Goldeneye (Bucephala islandica) is a medium-sized diving duck, named after Sir John Barrow, an English statesman and writer. The genus name Bucephala refers to the bulbous shaped head and the species name Islandica means Iceland. The male Barrow’s goldeneye has a black and white body, a purplish glossy head, a bright yellow eye with a white crescent at the front of the face. Adult females have a grayish body and yellow bill. The Barrow's goldeneye is a quiet bird that generally only makes grunts, squeaks and croaks during the breeding season and courtship. Their fast-moving wings create a whistling sound while in flight. The Barrow’s goldeneye is migratory and winters in open inland waters or protected coastal waters. They rely on coastal estuaries as important wintering and stopping places on their migration. Their breeding habitat consists of ponds and wooded lakes in North America as well as some locations in eastern Canada and Iceland. They build their nest in tree cavities. The Barrow’s goldeneye diet is made up of crustaceans, insects and vegetation for which they forage underwater. This Barrow’s goldeneye female was photographed in Puget Sound from Vashon Island at Tahlequah, Washington State, USA.
