Here are couple of photographs, and a short video, of not your usual visitor to the Jersey shore - male King Eider.
All taken last Spring in Sandy Hook, NJ.

Nice angle. You must have had your face in the sand.

Great shots , great low angle. There are reports of one around Milwaukee after seeing these images might be worth a trip .


A little L goes a long way.

Thanks!
I believe that the one reported there, is a 1st year male. Juveniles look similar to this one: http://www.gschneiderp​hoto.com …kingeider/king_​eider-3452 (external link)

Actually this is the photo of the one reported ;) => http://www.ilbirds.com …c=49560.msg6911​7#msg69117 (external link)

Beautiful series Greg. I've only seen one Eider here on the SC coast and it was a young bird.
