Common Eider

oh yes, amazing beauty!!!

wow,,,

Thanks Ali!

Thanks Sachin. These Common Eiders were really common yesterday when I went looking for the King Eider. There were about 1,000 of these birds in the Cape Cod canal.

Incredibly beautiful!!

Fantastic collection Tom15..

I guess I'll have to look next time I'm by the coast!

Thanks Jakubko, these are common along the coast in most of New England especially in the winter. I suspect they aren't too hard to find on the NY coast either.

Beautiful! I really want to see one of these!

Ric, Common Eiders are "common" up here in the winter, but seeing one in Florida would be a nice spotting.

Had one fly into a beach community along the Intercoastal Waterway here in FL about a month ago; and by chance a local birder confirmed its presence w/ a photo. Bells and whistles went off for others to find it again. It was not to be seen. I didn't get to see that photo, so it's nice to see this one.
