Howdy again,

I guess I was a bit too excited to make good field notes on the bird. I did
have my trusty point and shoot Olympus C-700 and snapped a couple of
pictures. One shot was nearly useless, but the second shows adequate marks
to identify it as a male COMMON EIDER. I've posted a cropped image, plus
the original distant shot. Feel free to copy to photo and enlarge it to an
appropriate size for better viewing. The photo is posted at

Your comments on this bird would be appreciated. Please note that I just
get Tweeters in digest form, so a personal e-mail or cc would be great.

Thanks,
