So there is a lot of mixing b/t subspecies of C Eider? This Spring there was=
 a a post on NSBS Facebook page that had very orange beak for our usual C Ei=
der (dresseri). But other than that the beak looked completely like the norm=
al ones we see. A possible cross with v-nigrum (which has been seen in NL)?
