A friend of mine found a Canvasback in a little retention pond in Sanford, so I drove up this morning to see it, but I struck out.
I went to work dejected, but then a little after lunch I received an eBird alert that a Common Goldeneye was seen in a retention pond at a nearby mall.
I drove up there and sure enough, there it was! It’s the first sighting recorded on eBird for Seminole Co.
So it was a pretty good day afterall.
