King Eider, Somateria spectabilis

Good job. This guy is visiting us from Barrow, Alaska.

Is it in your swimming pool?

I just saw that the King Eider is in a rehab center, so the irony fell down!

There are no outside swimming pools in Alaska. This fellow is in one of our rehab tanks for water fowl. His neighbor right now is a spectacled eider. They both will be with us for several weeks then released.

What'll the next ones be? Black Scoter? Harlequin Duck?

That I can't answer. We have been getting an unusual list of sea birds this summer. Though these birds are native to Alaska, they are from a lot farther north than Anchorage where I am. We'll see what mother nature sends us next.
