By Ruth Grierson, Tom Vining| Mount Desert Islander Verified No sooner had we put on our rubber boots than we met a couple who were leaving the island carrying some very impressive optical equipment for bird watching. “There are two goldeneyes out there,” said one of birders. We took that to mean the common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) rather than the far less common Barrow’s Goldeneye (Albeola islandica) because the latter would surely have been noted by the two observers. Goldeneyes are in the same genus as the Bufflehead (Bucephala albeola).
