I first met Anthony Collerton when he was trying to see the Barrow’s Goldeneye at Jamaica Bay back in February.

The male of this species has a royal blue throat, a white chest and rump, and a long v-shaped tail with intermittent white patches that makes it looks like part of it are floating in space.
