Common Eider descends toward the Westport River, landing gear down.

Eider extends its piggies, awaiting the moment of impact.

Eider down!

Eider is hoping to avoid a face plant. Lots of splash!

Very graceful until the actual landing. #commoneider #seaduck #bird #birdphotography #westportriver #westportma #westportpublicboatramp
