Hi All— On Friday Erika and I finally ticked the Pacific Common Eider on our checklists. This was one of two birds that have been reported since last November. I was able to take a few photos, which are on my blog this morning: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com The eider was among the mallards, Black Ducks, and even a few Pintails at Canal Park in Duluth. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota [log in to unmask] http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet...Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ....”—H.
