It was a bitter cold day and we started walking through the park. There was very little open water and we saw a lot of goldeneye and mallards congregating in the patches that were. The park had chickadees, white-breasted nuthatches and even pileated woodpeckers.

At the bridge we found so many goldeneye it was hard to count and make sure you've looked at each one to try and see if it had those slight differences. Unfortunately we didn't see anything that we could confidently say was a Barrows Goldeneye but it was a good walk and a nice park with some worthwhile birding.
