Common Goldeneye
& Iceland Gull

Common Goldeneyes are diving ducks with streamlined bodies and short tails. Adult male Common Goldeneyes are mostly black and white: the head is mostly black with a round white spot near the bill and a bright yellow eye. The back is black but the sides are white, making the body appear mostly white. Females have brown heads and gray back and wings. The bill is black with variable amounts of yellow at the tip. In flight, both sexes have large white patches in the wings.

The Iceland Gull is a medium size gull that breeds in the Arctic regions of Canada and Greenland.
