Barrow's Goldeneye in Madison!



While birding Madison area lakes yesterday, Aaron Stutz found a Barrow's Goldeneye on University Bay, probably the first Dane County record for the species. Jesse Peterson stopped by to pick me up on his way to see the bird. Knowing it was going to be too far from shore for a close-up, I went along to at least try for a documentation photograph.
