Common Goldeneye
The black-and-white Common Goldeneye is one of the last ducks to migrate south in fall. It often will winter as far north as open water permits. Adult male Common Goldeneyes appear mostly black and white: the head is mostly black with a round white spot near the bill and a bright yellow eye. The back is black but the sides are white, making the body appear mostly white. The bill is black with variable amounts of yellow at the tip. In flight, both sexes have large white patches in the wings. I am very passionate about wildlife and nature photography. One of my goals is to help increase public awareness of the wonders of wildlife and our natural heritage through my images. I am able to combine my love of wildlife, appreciation of the great outdoors and have a wonderful time in the process. Photographing wildlife in their natural habitat provides an exciting glimpse into the fascinating world of nature and wildlife. I hope you will enjoy your visit. Within these pages you'll discover our wildlife and landscape photo galleries . Which includes pictures of mammals, birds and scenic places. I encourage you and your families to photograph and observe wildlife in its natural habitat. Share your photos and your experiences outdoors, with your family and friends.
