Pics I took a little while back...these birds are a bit bigger than the American Common Eiders....shape of head and green coloration is also completely different.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Nice.....thinking about northern ME this year to look for a king.....have to research what the chances are.....fairly slim I'd venture.

Thanks David.

@Norton
Kings do come down to coastal Maine, the southern most shot recently was in Rhode Island. So I would not say that chances are zero...chances are slim...it is possible. If you are there at the right time. What happens for Kings is that the hens and first year young ones usually migrate further south and earlier...the mature Kings usually tough out the colder weather (as long as water is ice free). So you possibly have a better chance of bagging a female King or a Juvy King than a fully mature King.

What is a fully mature King Eider ?

Answer: A 4+ year old male.
