Almost grown-up and ready for mating season.
I think I broke the law getting this pic, btw. We were down at the "New Harbor" (the one the Germans built 70 years ago) to see our neighbor's painting group's art show, when I spied a group of eiders some distance out in the harbor. A gate was open to a pier, clearly marked no trespassing, but I trespassed all the way to the end of the pier, including through yet another open gate to the inner area of some shipping company. When I got there, the eiders had dived, I thought, but I counted slowly to 30 and they turned up again. They were diving right by, and sometimes under, the pier just beyond the furthest I could go without tripping over goods stacked there for shipping. Two males in transition plumage, and one female.
