November morning in the Milwaukee Harbor
I added two new birds to my photo life list on Sunday. Was quite surprised to find this juvenile King Eider hanging out amongst a few Scaup. Thanks to the fellow bird watcher who pointed him out for me! King Eiders belong on the Eastern seaboard this time of year and in the arctic in the summer. They’re a ‘sea’ duck and while Lake Michigan may look like an ocean this young duck is very far from home. Also spied a few Horned Grebes passing through. The Horned Grebes weren’t very shy at all and decided to come right up to me and check out what I was up to on the pier.
