Took 8am ferry out of New London this morning. Overcast and light wind made for good visibility on way out but fog and rain made thing tougher on return. No remarkable birds in CT waters but a careful estimate of 1,600 Common Eider is by far the most I have ever seen in CT. Many adult males. In New York waters notable was a King Eider (Orient Point harbor) and a single adult Northern Gannet. eBird list with poor record shot of King Eider below: New York water ferry eBird list <https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S50682087> CT waters ferry run eBird list <https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S50682006> Dave Provencher Preston
