Black Scoter (Melanitta americana)Observer
chrisnormDescription
Was on the water line during low tide, alive but not moving much. Under the dock. Seemed distressed when I approached so I kept away. Reached out but still dealing with avian flu concerns here.

Dresser's Common Eider (Somateria mollissima ssp. dresseri)Observer
chrisnormDescription
Eider? Not very aware. I nearly stepped on it because I was looking out into the water. I got within 3 feet and it tilted its head up, looked at me, then tucked its head back in. It's ignoring mallards that are swimming around it too. It's right on the waterline.

Dresser's Common Eider (Somateria mollissima ssp. dresseri)Observer
chrisnormDescription
Dead on beach. At the same spot as my last Eider observation (will link later) but no way to tell if it's the same bird. Wouldn't be surprised with how the bird was acting.
