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.

Red Knots are plump, neatly proportioned sandpipers that in summer sport brilliant terracotta-orange underparts and intricate gold, buff, rufous, and black upperparts. This cosmopolitan species occurs on all continents except Antarctica and migrates exceptionally long distances. Red Knots from eastern North America have declined sharply in recent decades owing in part to unsustainable harvest of horseshoe crab eggs, and they have become a flagship species for shorebird conservation in the twenty-first century. This guy has shed most of his breeding plumage.
