Everyone, Parking wasn't a problem for me in going to view the King Eider. I walked down the half-mile or so from my office during a two-hour hiatus between classes. :) I carried a pair of binoculars, but not a scope, figuring (correctly) that there'd be birders there who had them. Turns out a scope wasn't even needed, it was that close. What a fantastic fall! Even the Vermillion Flycatcher, though only a speck in the scope, thoughtfully popped up once in profile, so that the contrast between the reddish-orange breast and the dark brown back was evident even at that distance.
