'Rare Regular' in Minnesota

Jim Mattsson reports a male Barrow's Goldeneye on Friday, Jan. 19, seen from Prescott, WI, marina. At noon Jan 21 he found the male BAGO from the overlook at Freedom Park, just south of downtown Prescott. The bird was among many hundreds of Common Goldeneye and Common Mergansers on the Dakota County, MN, side of the river and eventually swam into Wisconsin. This image was taken just South of the bridge.
