- Morro Bay Estuary (use more specific location(s) when possible), San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-120.8501072&<ll...>,-120.8501072 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S299449349 - Comments: "Had a really nice close look from our skiff heading back into the harbor from the oyster farm. She was in the channel on an outgoing tide about midway between the two oyster farms. Unfortunately she took off to the south right as I noticed that it was the eider, but got a good look at her white underwing patches in flight."
