(Glaucionetta ilandica)
Barrow's golden-eye is another duck that is seen, but little within
the Pacific Coast hunting grounds, and only then near the coast
sections of the northern part. They are found more plentiful on the
islands along the north Pacific coast.
=Color=--The male resembles the American golden-eye very closely,
except that the head of the Barrow's is more of a purple, or greenish
purple. The white at the base of the bill is also different, it being
a crescent shape instead of round.
The female differs in the head being more of a cinnamon brown, and the
back more of a gray and slightly mottled with brown.
=Nest, Eggs and Measurements=--The same as the American golden-eye.
