    Sorry, in advance, for going all bird-nerd on you but...

    Bufflehead, Common Goldeneye and Barrow's Goldeneye are all three members of the genus Bucephala so they are closely related and they all three nest in tree cavities.

    Okay, I'm done.

    All I have to add is I love to see about 20 or so on the deck flying into the decoys.... A certain stretch of the Columbia River in WA comes to mind....

    I enjoy blasting Whistlers..........

    I'll add that there isn't much meaner or more startling than two geese defending their cute fuzzy baby geese.
