Goldeneye’s Gotta Go

Goldeneye’s gotta go… Deuces out!

Fast Flyers of Northern Waters

Goldeneyes are diving ducks that often forage in flocks and dive simultaneously. They typically feed in fairly shallow waters, up to about 20 feet deep, and are notably fast fliers. Their wings produce a distinctive whistling sound in flight, and males frequently perform striking courtship displays by stretching the head backward against their back before snapping it forward when females are nearby.
