On May 12, I saw two male Common Goldeneyes at the
north end of Conn Island, a little upriver from Great
Falls.

I was continuing my surveys of possible breeding
locations of Louisiana Waterthrushes and Prothonotary
Warblers along the C&O Canal towpath in lower
Montgomery County this morning.  About a mile above
Great Falls Tavern I left the towpath and took the
trail downstream along the river.  To my surprise, I
saw two drake COMMON GOLDENEYES in the slack water
just above Conn Island.  They were diving frequently
and swimming around, and generally looked pretty
healthy.  This is quite late in the migration season
for these ducks to be in our area (though not by any
means unprecedented, according to "The Yellow Book."
