From Jim Barber, resident bird expert-
“Common Eider with young. Common Eider breed on Ten Pound Island but they just started doing so about five years ago. Their range is expanding. I took some of the first photos of Common Eider young in Gloucester harbor at the time and they were published in Bird Observer magazine.
They are source of “eider down”. In Greenland they have vast farms of eider nests and the down is collected from the nest under strict government regulations.”
