Check this out! I suppose it thought it had found a gigantic suet feeder.

That's amazing. And at the most northerly point of the USA. A lot of King Eiders too - 200,000! Is that a typo?..

Yes, would kinda like to see the pics ... (wonder how many species of bird have been recorded at cetacean carcases?)

King Eiders - mmm - they were filming so a constant stream - timed spot counts would give a calculation, but were they paying attention enough that they were sure the numbers were constant enough throughout the main periods? Also no circling back/ morning and evening flights being the same birds? ...

Doubt they'd be circling back, they were prob piling into the Arctic Ocean islands to breed. Just seems a lot, esp as there were 7,500 Common Eider. But i have no idea whatsoever, it could be perfectly feasable.

No idea, thought you knew!

Population given as 800- 900,000 individuals worldwide per google. Would be impressive past Pendennis Point or the Great Orme ... (or anywhere!)
