Common Goldeneye

Folks,
        I received a call this afternoon from Bob Olthoff who lives in
Waynesville/Haywood County, reporting a male Common Goldeneye on Lake
Janulska in Haywood County.  Nothing could be further from the truth,
Goldeneyes are not at all common in the mountains of western North Carolina.
I ran up there and did manage to see the bird.  It appeared to be the  only
genetically sound member of the waterfowl family on the entire lake.
                Regards,
                Wayne
