Hi again,

I forgot to mention about the "eiders" in my post of a few minutes ago.
The warden in charge of the duck hunt (running it and identifying the
birds shot) told me that he found three eiders (species unknown) washed
up on the beach several hours before I walked the beach.  He said he
didn't collect them but I never saw them which makes me a bit suspicious
of the ID, especially since it would be about a month early for an eider
anyway.  I wonder if they were scaup as some of the scaup were entangled
in algae and waterlogged making them look quite dark.  Anyway, consider
it reported for what it's worth!
