You all get to tease me about the bird! Guess I'm too rummy from standing out there for three hours waiting for an Aucklet! LOL!
Thanks!!

My guess is Surf Scoter. If I'm right, what do I win?

Hi Tweets,
I have been photographing the last two evenings out at Point Hudson in Port Townsend--trying my best to get a Rhinoceros Auklet up close with fish. LOL!
Anyway--about 300 yards out this big bird flies by--I am thinking Eider--but I don't know and I'll let someone here make the call. Looked like a 747 going by compared to all the other birds.
Pic for ID is here http://www.pbase.com/herderdog/point_hudson&page=all -lots of other birds from the area on this gallery as well.
Thanks!
