Common Goldeneye Range Map
The Common Goldeneye breeds from western Alaska and northern Yukon to central Labrador and Newfoundland, south to central Alaska, northern Washington across to northern Michigan, Maine, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Winters on the Pacific Coast from the Aleutian Islands south to southern California, on the Great Lakes, in the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and south to the Gulf Coast, and on the Atlantic Coast from Newfoundland south to Florida; irregularly elsewhere in the interior of the United States. The Common Goldeneye inhabits lakes, ponds, shallow rivers, slow-flowing streams, floodplain forests and bogs, preferably with weedy margins, near or in woodlands with large cavity trees. Breeds in a range that generally coincides with the boreal coniferous forest. Winters on bays, estuaries, rivers, and inland as far north as open water and food are available.
