Male and Female Goldeneye for Saturday Critters

Bitd sightings are very rare around here at this time of year. Yesterday I saw a Bluejay and this morning a small flock of starlings but neither sighting created any good photo opportunities. However this morning I also saw a pair of Common Goldeneye again. I have been hoping to get a good photo of a female Common Goldeneye but all I could get was a photo that showed its brown head
and a hint of its goldeneye,
The male that I saw this morning was a much cleared photo.

It is seldom that I can achieve a good photo of an goldeneye pair , however here is one I was able to acquire in 2006

Hopefully in the upcoming days I will be able to get a god picture of a pair of these ducks. 

I am linking today to Eileen's Saturday Critters found at
