As noted by John Ruddy the female eider was still present at 1:45 in the same general area. It had moved in somewhat and moved west to east and back about 200 metres south of the road over Cty Rd #2 west of Long Sault at the Hoople Creek Bridge.
The bird could be picked out with the naked eye and was swimming alone most of the time although it was initially with a small flock of Goldeneyes. It could be identified with binoculars but showed well in the scope.
