Common Eider in-flight - East Coast

Adult male Common Eider flying by

Just recently, I was lucky enough to spend some quality time with these handsome ducks. I happened to visit this particular location at the perfect time for birds in flight photography. These birds were constantly flying in and out giving me some great opportunity to test my new gear. I will be sharing more photographs from this outing soon.

Here is a closer look at this handsome drake:
