Folks,
Just got a phone call from Tim Rodenkirk who is looking at a odd duck
that he suspects is a first winter male COMMON EIDER. The bird is off
of Fossil Point, Coos Bay, Coos Co, but Tim says he is out there at low
tide and he walked around the point to the south and the bird is sitting
on a small island. Once the tide comes in it will likely be hard to
get around the point and there are no other good spots to check from.
We will not have time to check until this afternoon or tomorrow
morning. Tim says the bird is rather funky looking with a mix of white
patches and dark feathers. He says the bill is long large and sloped
like an eider. He is uncertain of the ID but he was leaning towards a
COMMON EIDER.
Cheers
Dave Lauten
