Has anyone been out to look for this bird? Its not my place to post other people's names so I just reduced it to initials.
Steller's Eider (Polysticta stelleri) (1) - Reported Jan 19, 2014 16:00 by V.V. - Point Lookout, Nassau, New York - Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=40.5872222,-73.5772222&ll=40.5872222,-73.5772222 - Checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S16444443 - Comments: "I realize this range is completely off but this is the closest in markings to what I observed. This bird did not have a black head like a common eider, lacked a yellow heavy beak like the king eider. It was larger with a different head shape than a bufflehead and merganser. I was very surprised and will try to get a photo." -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
