Discover the Remarkable World of the Common Goldeneye
Striking, energetic, and superbly adapted for life on the water, the Common Goldeneye is one of the most distinctive diving ducks of northern lakes, rivers, and winter coastlines. With brilliant golden eyes, powerful underwater movements, rapid flight, and fascinating breeding behavior, this species offers birdwatchers much to discover.
Common Goldeneye: The Complete Waterfowl Guide provides an engaging exploration of Bucephala clangula, covering identification, habitat, feeding, diving behavior, migration, courtship, nesting, seasonal movements, and conservation.

Diving, Feeding, and Daily Behavior
Explore how Common Goldeneyes dive beneath the surface in search of aquatic invertebrates, fish, fish eggs, and other foods. Learn about flocking, courtship displays, communication, swimming, rapid flight, and the distinctive whistling sound produced by their wings.
Habitat, Nesting, and the Life Cycle
