Yesterday a King Eider was reported at Fort Pemaquid . . . and naturally the local birders descended on the spot.

The road into the fort was a muddy mess and I worried that I would get stuck but braved it anyway.

I search for an hour and then ran into a couple other birders who had searched even longer . . . no luck.

I went over to Pemaquid Lighthouse and got some great birds at a distance . . . including Razorbills and Red-necked Grebes.
