[obol] My Sighting wasn't Eider...

[Diane Pettey]

I have more carefully examined field guides and Alan's description of the Steller's Eider he saw yesterday and have concluded that the bird I observed was a female white-winged scoter. She didn't have any white cheek patches and under hazy conditions, appeared lighter and "different". 

I apologize to any and all who are "chasing" this bird based on my post.
regards,
Diane Pettey
