King Eider and Barrow's in Channel Today

Thanks to a call from Ken Sapkowski I was able to go to the Muskegon Channel and get some pictures of the King Eider over on the north side directly across from the Silversides parking lot.  It was getting real dark by the time I got there so the pictures don't show much color.

Earlier this morning, several birders including Charlie and me saw the Barrow's Goldeneye in the channel in the general vicinity of the Coast Guard station.  A Lifer for Charlie!  There were also thousands of other ducks, many hundreds of which were Long-tailed's and White-winged Scoters.   - Ric
