Speaking of King Eiders, I joined a carload of birders Saturday to see
the adult male King Eider at Fanny Bay on Vancouver Island, an hour or
so north of Nanaimo. You can get to Nanaimo or Victoria from the BC
Ferry terminal at Tsawwassen.

It seems to be hanging around, pretty reliable, at an oyster farm,
viewed from Arbutus Bay Road, which is easy to find. You'll need a
scope.
