I hiked out to Cape Lookout this morning before dawn for a seawatch.
I got lucky when a male KING EIDER flew past only about 100 yards out from
the point.
There were also large numbers of White-Winged Scoter, more than Surf,
which I don't usually see.
The most numerous birds by far were Common Murres.
Good Birding
