   <br/>&#62; I have never seen a Goldeneye here. C Mergansers are always h=
ere in season. Best return to the location to see if I can pin it down. I b=

eaves the nest box (not back yet this year). Thanks for the help.=20

   <br/>&#62; &#62; Hi Nancy
   <br/>&#62; &#62; Goldeneye are known as whistlers and their flight noise=
 sounds like whistling.=20
   <br/>&#62; &#62; Common Mergansers sort of croak.=20

   <br/>&#62; &#62;&#62; There are a limited number of ducks I have ever se=
en on this lake (L Torment, E Dalhousie, Kings Co). These include Mallard, =
Black, Ring-necked, Wood, GW Teal, Hooded and C Merganser plus Bufflehead i=
n Fall. Yesterday I heard whistling wings and Croaking. I did not see the d=
uck(s) but believe this would be a Wood Duck. Ideas?
   <br/>&#62; &#62;&#62;=20
   <br/>&#62; &#62;&#62; Maybe whistling wings is not really a good ID feat=
ure for ducks. But the dabblers like Mallards and Black Ducks do not seem t=
he =E2=80=9Cwhistle=E2=80=9D in flight.

   <br/>&#62; &#62;&#62; Thanks for any help here, Nancy
