Lake Superior’s ice limited the open water where the Goldeneyes could forage for their zebra mussels breakfast. Goldeneyes, which normally spook very, very easily allowed me to watch their morning feed from only 30 yards distant at Duluth’s Canal Park this morning. They were hungry! This stop action video slowed the diving down from a few seconds to 13 seconds. The video is a compilation of exactly 40 photographs. Every Goldeneye will disappear!

Interesting pictures and video. They seem to fan out their tails when they dive. I wonder if they eat the zebra mussels shell and all. Thanks as always for sharing, Rich.
