Media notes
This photo is included simply to show that the two King Eiders and the Common Eider sometimes were in close proximity. That, in fact, commonly occurs in eider flocks.
Observation details
This individual was deemed to be a male largely in eclipse plumage. Additional commentary is supplied in association with both of the two photos of this species herewith, one of which, Photo ML37017061, shows it alone at relatively close range, and the other, Photo ML37017031, shows it more distant in the company of two King Eiders (photos of the latter individuals are provided herewith).
