Field journal 2

I did not see the duck fly. I believe it is a female common golden eye based upon the dark brown head, white band on the neck and then mottled body.

The duck would swim on the surface and then dive for around 15 seconds.

I did not see many birds on my initial day when I went to watch birds. I walked to centennial woods and didn’t manage to see any birds. I observed this duck for roughly 15 minutes when I was at middlebury falls. The first day was probably due to the poor weather. It was around 30 degrees, cloudy and kind of rainy.

I think that I’d have the best luck on a clear day around mid morning. I should probably go to a place with out incredibly dense trees so I can see them but somewhere where there are a few trees just with more space between them.

I didn’t see this species fly. The duck would swim on the surface and then dive for 15-30 seconds before resurfacing.

I believe it was a female common goldeneye due to the brown head, white band around its neck and then mottled brown body.

This duck was not observed in my initial walk through centennial woods, on that day it was rainy, and cold so I did not have much luck finding birds. I would have much better luck on a clear day.

I also happened to see a large swarm of birds. They may have been European starlings. They sat in the trees and then would fly as a large group to another tree(second picture)
