The third bird is a fairly worn and pale brown female White-winged Scoter,
with an adult male and an immature male (mostly female looking) Surf Scoter.

Sorry for all the emails. More details on the possible King Eider on Dryden
Lake: brownish overall, longer and bulkier than the two Surf Scoters it is
associating with, pale area on face at base of dark bill, and white patch on
wings visible during preening. I hope others check it out.
Cheers,
Daughter, Becky, & I were at Oswego yesterday (Sat.) afternoon & again
saw the King eider, red-throated loon, dozens of white-winged scoters &
long-tailed ducks, as well as the usual ducks & gulls. Also being seen
in winter plumage was the male horned grebe which Kathy Strickland & I

Work was slow today, so I managed to quit while there was still daylight, and even hiked to the lake before dark. The KING EIDER was still there, initially in the mouth of Cayuga Inlet diving close along the west side of the white lighthouse jetty, but at dusk swimming near some COMMON MERGANSERS

The King Eider was seen off Stewart Park in Ithaca this morning around 9:00 AM.
It was in front of, and on top, of the jetty wall between the white and red
light houses.
Three Turkey Vultures were seen near Mount Pleasant Road latter in the morning.

At 0805 the King Eider was perhaps 50 m n. from the swan pen, diving regularly
in the
vicinity of a small
group of Mallards. Pretty cold, but little wind, which made things almost
pleasant.
Excellent views in the
morning light, with the bird diving in gentle swells with slushy ice chunks.

The KING EIDER was still present between 9:30-9:45 and best seen from the
trail stretching from the Boathouse along the creek as it was slowly moving
north towards the lake. While I was there (with other observers) it was
actively feeding, frequently diving and returning to the surface with
Meg and I were treated to a very good view of the King eider at the
mouth of the creek behind the boathouse at Stewart Park from 10:15 to
10:45 this morning.

The King Eider had moved into the deeper waters of the lake proper by 3:30
p.m., and swam back and forth parallel to the willows, varying between 25-50
yards off shore. It dove a number of times in the light chop, but I could
not see any food in its bill. A large raft of Canada Geese separated it
The King Eider was back in the creek from 4:10 to 4:35 this afternoon.
Easily viewed from the swan pen path just path the boathouse.
What a treat!

On my last visit to Stewart Park today (Mon 6 Dec) at 4:20pm I saw the King Eider still in Fall Creek next to the Cascadilla Boathouse. Maybe it will stay untill it runs out of crayfish. It is very tolerant of people watching from the shore. If you haven't yet seen this amazing bird I recommend a
I spent about 15 minutes around 2pm today enjoying excellent views with and

the boathouse. He was often as close as 15 feet from the
I was at the Marina Saturday morning. No eider, but several decoys on the water,

Gordon Carol I arrived at Myers about 11am. We first looked from the lighthouse without success. Then from the south side of the marina I found the KING EIDER, but it took awhile. The scope made it possible -- Gordon said he couldn't find it with binoculars -- but it took me multiple scans.
I just had a call from Mike Ackley (spelling?), reporting the male King
Eider today at the same place as yesterday: south of the marina.
Good birding,
