Mark Nikas found the eider at Pigeon Point at around 11:30am. A few minutes ago, Russ and I saw it from across Tarheel Ln. The Yellow-billed Loon was seen at Fossil Point at 10am.

I am leaving now, so the bird should show up this afternoon or possibly tomorrow morning. Best of luck. Russ Namitz Medford, OR
