All, 

>From the beginning of Keibal rd on the west side of Whitney Point Dam Whitney 
>Point, NY, I found a female-type KING EIDER very close to the shore near the 
>beginning of the dirt road. The bird was at times maybe 15 feet away from the 
>shore. This is the first Broome e-bird record, and the first I am aware of for 
>possibly 20 years in the county. The bird was actively diving and staying in 
>the same vicinity for over an hour. The exact location can be found here...
