<i>Bucephala clangula </i> Length: 16-20"
<p>
The Common Goldeneye seems to be more common
in the Bay Area than the Barrow's Goldeneye.
Both species are very similar, but the male Common
Goldeneye has more of an
oval white spot under its eye instead of the crescent
found on male Barrow's Goldeneyes.
Like the Barrow's they
eat aquatic insects, crustaceans, fish, fish eggs, and aquatic plants.
