I saw the related thread in "Whatbird" where someone identified the duck as a
King Eider and also aged it. Those of us who are not members cannot access the
photo.
As Rich Guthrie noted in another e-mail, it would be good to make the said
photo (s) available in a more accessible forum.
This is an excellent rare summer find and it would be nice to see the images.
Thank you for getting the word out.
