Hi all  My 2 cents worth about the  Hoopers Island Golden  Eye was  that 
that bird  looked much  like Harry's  reported Bird   and the only Golden 
Eye bayside . I   know  that does not mean much in and of its self .  There 
were several common Golden Eyes  in the much calmer  river  males as well 
female  . I   did not get as good a look at it as  Diane Cole did  , trying 
to get a photo fumbling  for the  camera etc   . I did get several photos of 
a flying speck and  do not even know if it was the golden eye . After 
stopping the car the bird was agitated  and moved more ofshore  then flew    
  I   myself  would  not call  it was A female  Barrows  but it  was a bird 
of interest  and  bears looking for again  .   Having never seen one   I can 
not go out on that limb  but the other side  of the coin is that  Diane  has 
seen  Barrows Golden Eyes Several times having been to and goes  to  
Washington State .   I hope it can be found again and photographed .


Happy Birding
