I still found one Common Goldeneye at the bottom of Gladwin in Matsqui Trail Park. It had 5 companions the last time I saw them there.

'SOME BLASTS FROM THE PAST.' (5)
An image made two years ago. There were hundreds of CSOs to be seen in Little Scrubbs Meadow, but I found this gem and several others, growing in the Butterfly Garden.
Looking at it, I’m transported back to a most perfect late Spring morning. Everything was vibrant - bird song, buzzing Honey Bees, the drone of insects and of course, the colours of flowers and lush vegetation.
I love how photographs and music have the power to take you back in time to a precise moment and place.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
More photos from my visit to this very small reserve last Friday.
This looks to me like a common darter. The colouring is like a female but it might be a juvenile male I guess.
The Common Eider (Somateria mollissima) is a large sea duck native to northern coasts of Europe, North America, and eastern Siberia. Easily recognized by its size and the male’s bold black-and-white plumage with a green nape, the Common Eider is Iceland’s most abundant sea duck. Males have a sloping forehead and wedge-shaped bill, while females are mottled brown and serve as excellent camouflaged nesters.
call was common growing up in Northern Wisconsin. So when I heard it. I crawled down to the pond to see if I could get a photo. There were 2 of them on the pond. Maybe they will nest on it. I hope so. it is somewhat hard to get to, and not many people know it is there. Besides most people here a scared they may get a tick on them. So they stay away from tall grasses and heavy growth. A small Southeastern Connecticut pond.
A couple of common gulls (Larus canus) on our island, on a spring day from the archive.
We have many of them breeding here during spring and summer. Actually, over half of Europe's population of common gulls breed in Norway.
They also breed in other cool temperate regions of the Palearctic, from Iceland and Scotland east to Kamchatka in the Russian Far East.
Some of them choose to winter along our coast as well.

Common Eider /somateria mollissima. Northumberland. 30/05/23.
'A-HOO, A-HOO, A-HOO ... '
Rear view of a male Common Eider advancing towards a group of females. With head thrown back and beak lifted, he tried to beguile them with a courtship display.
The repeated 'a-hoo, a-hoo, a-hoo' call that male Eiders make is the most wonderful sound imo. Certainly one I could never tire of.
(The rule about not photographing the back of a bird is ignored here! I like the detail of his head pattern, as seen from this PoV)
