Re. noting of borealis eiders:  Most of us wouldn't notice the particular
subspecies, but it's certainly worth noting same for those who can.  Such
data come at no added expense, and in my experience, ya never know when a
set of data becomes relevant or even important to answering an unforeseen
future question.

Subject: [NatureNS] Borealis Eiders off Western Head, Queens Co.

 

The sea was extremely quiet off Western Head this morning, with little
evidence of waterfowl migration yet except for 7 Black Scoters heading NE.
The big numbers of migrating Eiders and Scoters have yet to come. 

 

However there were three Common Eiders just off the point, two males and a
female. Both males were of the northern subspecies borealis so likely the
female was too. 

 

Do borealis eiders merit being put on the RBA? Who knows. we seem to have
only ancecdotal evidence of their abundance and a few recent photographs
firmly documenting their presence here.
