A little more information on the Common Eider report from Dayton.

Here's the link to the eBird checklist that included the report and photo:
http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S16015715

The photograph looks very much like a photo by Jerry Talkington that was
published in Jim McCarty's blog in 2009:

It's possible that the person submitting the eBird report may have included
the image just as an example to indicate what his bird looked like to him,
and didn't mean to claim that this was a photo of the actual bird that he
saw.

Reverse image lookup on Google Images can be a useful app in situations
like this.
