After Tim R. left Fossil Point the COEI continued to preen on the rock as the
tide rose to cover the rock. Then the eider moved up-channel, around the point.
At 1 PM the eider had moved farther off shore but was easily seen in a flock of
scoters, due to its obviously larger size, rich brown head, and extensive white
on breast & back. When I left the pump station in Empire (Coos Bay) a few
minutes after 1 PM the bird was moving into the mid-channel and approaching the
red Marker # 10.
