This specimen (now mounted in a private collection) of an adult male Barrow's Goldeneye was shot by a hunter on a small pond near Greenville, in Hunt County, on November 6, 1958, and provided the first Texas record of this species.  The male was reportedly accompanied by two females, both of which were apparently shot, but not preserved.
