Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.

 

Look for flocks of Common Eiders in rocky marine waters, where they dive down, using their wings to swim, to pry mussels from rocks. Much of their day is spent resting, especially during high tides, and they frequently perform courtship displays in these flocks from fall into spring, with the males giving quiet dovelike calls.
