Folks,

I dropped by late this afternoon to investigate.

The bird was there and it was bitter, bitter cold.

It sure looks like a fem Barrow's Goldeneye to me.  I took some
extremely distant photos that I'll post to my blog later tonight.
First, Christmas shopping.

I sent the pics to Mr Hafner and Mr Hubick for their $.02.

But, that's my $.02.  Happy holidays.
