December 11th, 2005. North end of Plum Island, MA.
| King Eider Somateria spectabilis. First-winter.
| Superb views of this immaculate hatch-year King Eider found by Jim Hully yesterday. Mostly fed alone rather than joining the nearby Common Eider flock.
| | Taken using Canon Powershot A-95 through Swarovski telescope. |
