In this photo (ML37019431) the male King Eider (lower left) is seen just after it has withdrawn its bill from the water and is starting to swallow a food item obtained in that effort. The bill is part-way open, and some food item may be seen there. The throat is obviously distended, so part of that food item already is going down. Toward the upper right is the female King Eider turned at a wonderful angle to allow the sun to reflect brightly from her whitish areas. In this photo, therefore, we are able to see the white borders of the left wing's speculum. We see here, also, very clearly, the dark gape line against the substantially bright area around it, one species characteristic (see discussion elsewhere herein), and still another, namely that the pale feathering at the bill base extends minimally downward, getting nowhere near the nostril. (See Photo ML37017061 of an eclipse male Common Eider for the contastingly long extension of feathering atop the bill to near the nostril and the darkness of the feathering at the base of the bill.)
