King Eider—KIEI
Regular but uncommon winter visitor to the waters off the New Jersey coast. I’ve seen just one bird in October 2018 on two consecutive days at Parking Lot C in the waters just north of the rocks at the water’s edge.
This is a stub page; I’ll be adding more photographs with the stories of my encounters as soon as I can.

Lightbox Gallery of Great Horned Owl photographs.
Back view of a Great Horned Owl that had just flown across my path to perch on this branch.
The bird immediately looked over its shoulder to check me out givng me the chance to capture its face.
This is a tighter crop of the previous image. The bird clearly decided I was a threat and it should move on.
This was the third shot taken in quick succession as the bird turned its head prior to flying off.
