Barrow's goldeneye

As I found when colleagues and I recently thought through new names for common eponymic birds in Maine, this is a process full of exciting questions: ������ makes a Barrow’s Goldeneye a Barrow’s Goldeneye?

“One Barrow’s goldeneye,” Cody said.

But you cannot tell, say from the deck of a tour boat, that pigeon guillemots, orcas, Pacific herring, harlequin ducks, clams, black oystercatchers, and Barrow’s goldeneye ducks are still struggling to recover their numbers 25 years later.
