Ring-necked Duck (male) (aythya collaris) swimming in a lake
The Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) is a medium-sized diving duck of the genus Bucephala.  Common goldeneyes are territorial and aggressive.  They have elaborate courtship displays.  The common goldeneye is named for its golden-yellow eye. Adult males have a dark greenish glossy head with a white circular patch below the eye.  Their back is dark and they have a white belly and neck. Adult females have a gray body and brown head. Their legs and feet are orange-yellow.  The breeding habitat of the common goldeneye is in the rivers and lakes of the boreal forest across northern North America and northern Russia. They nest in large tree cavities made by woodpeckers and from broken off limbs.  They return to the same nests year after year.  The goldeneye is a migratory waterfowl and spends the winter in the protected waters of the more temperate latitudes.  Their diet is met by foraging underwater for crustaceans, aquatic insects, mollusks, fish eggs and aquatic plants.  This female common goldeneye was photographed while swimming at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
