Local Notes
- Glacier Bay/Common Eider: Common Eiders were once regular in summer in upper Glacier Bay, but now are extremely rare. (edit)
- Haines/Common Eider: Not known to occur (edit)
- Juneau/Common Eider: Not known to occur (edit)
- Ketchikan/Common Eider: Not known to occur (edit)
- Sitka/Common Eider: The only report is of a pair SW of Kruzof Island, due west of St. Lazaria in early June 2013. See Observation:Anon_6. Considered unsubstantiated due to the lack of concrete documentation, and how unexpected it is for this species to be so far East this time of year. (edit)
- Skagway/Common Eider: One observed at Matthews Creek in Nahku Bay, May 2006. (edit)
- Yakutat/Common Eider: Not known to occur (edit)
