Barrow's Goldeneye - Bucephala islandica Andrew Spencer 2013-06-19 Edgerton Highway in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Valdez-Cordova Borough, Alaska, Valdez-Cordova (United States) (360 m) call -

natural vocalization; calls from the female of a pair of birds on a small pond in the taiga. A couple of calls from the male audible in the background. The female was acting like it was territorial on the pond, so I wonder if these calls are some kind of female display.
