I got a chance to chase my first new 2015 Pierce County bird this morning, the female King Eider that has been hanging out off Ruston Way in Tacoma since discovered by Bruce Labar a couple of days after I left for my Rio Grande Valley trip. I had to look around a bit but she was a bit NW of the prior reported sightings. She was feeding actively near shore by a small rocky point just past the Lobster Shop. She was underwater far more than on the surface so I didn’t get any decent digiscope photos. Now off to work for the afternoon on short notice. This was Pierce County bird #211 for 2015 for me. Loving it.
