Steller's Eiders in background
Observation details
Found by Tobie Getti. Two bulky jet black ducks with bright orange-yellow culmens, black legs. In flight paler primaries visible. Bulky bodies with relatively flat crowns, approximately the same size as the Steller's Eiders floating around in the background. This species seems to be detected fairly regularly in October, but sparingly at other times of the year. Had not expected to see this species on a freshwater body, but rather flying by on the ocean. On open water near large metal tubes at intersection of Laura Madison and Cakeeater roads.
