Goldeneyes – A flock of Common Goldeneyes flies down the Chignik River. The bright yellow on the bill tip of lead bird indicates a mature hen, so this might by a mother leading her first-year brood. Nicknamed “Whistler” for the distinctive whistling sound of their wings in flight, Common Goldeneyes are one of the Chignik’s most abundant fall, winter and spring ducks.
