Observation details
Rare. I observed a female from Dogwood St.(on the west side of North Cove) at the north end of the island. Initially, the bird was very active but it eventually climbed onto a rock closer to shore and sat long enough for me to get several marginal images. This bird was paler than a female Common Eider and had a shorter dark bill and an upcurved gape (contrasting with a pale area at the base of the bill). Photos.
