Golden Light but no Goldeneye
January 10, 2018 - Afternoon photography at a local pond, where the golden light was beautiful although the visiting Common Goldeneye didn't appear
Seminole Towne Center Pond
 | Description | Given that it is located inside a major shopping area, the Seminole Town Center Pond is an unlikely site for bird photography. But an unusual Common Goldeneye often visits during the winter, joining the Hooded Mergansers and Ring-necked Ducks. If you’re in the area, check it out! |
| Photography Advice | Take a long lens. The birds are skittish and will go to the opposite side of the pond when they see you. |
| When to Go | November through January |
| Species Photographed (4) | Common Goldeneye, Hooded Merganser, Lesser Scaup, Pied-Billed Grebe |

More Common Goldeneye
January 19, 2015 - The Common Goldeneye is still at the Seminole Towne Center, so I went back to get some more photos. The sun was actually out!
Hooded Show-Offs
January 10, 2015 - The Hooded Mergansers hanging out with the Common Goldeneye were quite the show-offs. I enjoyed watching their courtship behaviors.
Lifer Common Goldeneye
December 28, 2014 - I saw my lifer Common Goldeneye tonight, at a pond in Sanford. She was hanging out with Hooded Mergansers and gave me a nice wing flap.
