Hi all, I arrived to Plumb Beach at about 11am and searched for the King Eider together with two other birders for almost 2 hours without connecting with it. When we started working along the beach towards the eastern end a group of jet skiers blasted back and forth off the beach. I'm guessing they may have been what drove the eider away.
Maybe someone else with a bit of luck will relocate it? not so good birding, and the train back home went local...
