Observation details

Continuing female snoozing just beyond surf on the north side of the pier when I arrived. Eider snoozed, preened, and foraged on the pier pilings there, either under the pier or hardly ever any more than 50 feet north of the pier, during the entire time of the session of this checklist. --- Handheld phonescoped video clips and still frames (shot with an iPhone 5 through a Nikon Fieldscope 82mm ED Angled with either a 25-75x zoom, a 30x wide-angle, or a 50x wide-angle eyepiece) from the beach of the King Eider can be downloaded from the 011318 King Eider Myrtle Beach SC folder on my Box site at: http://app.box.com/shared/2yxtdkm3ta or directly from: http://app.box.com/s/hp6rylxxhdvr0nj3u0twpxr6hf8kkho7 Video quality should be best when viewing the actual video file(s) as Flickr may down-sample video quality a bit during processing. The entire folder can be downloaded or just individual files may be. --- All also easily available directly on Flickr at: https://www.flickr.com/photos/50282116@N04/ --- Handheld phonescoped video and still frames may be best viewed on a large screen. --- Information concerning how to use Apple MOV movie files can be read in my MOV Video File How-To.txt available at: http://www.box.com/s/ojj2lap6sayrj83n9zzx --- Some of the video files on the site can be a bit large and may take some minutes to download if you don't have high-speed internet access, but it may be best to download them to your desktop or somewhere on your computer before running them in QuickTime. That way they may run faster and you can keep them if you like them too. Being handheld and usually at a very high magnification they can sometimes get a little jittery, but they are still worth a look, especially since you can drag through frame by frame in QuickTime and pause the video on the best parts, playing at half speed in QuickTime can also be a good idea. --- Zoom handheld phonescoped video still frames for best results.
