Observation details
Seaside, S end of beach; /f continuing S end of beach, feeding close to shore /p Smallish sea duck, female. Two white wing bars visible when bird swims. Big grey bill. Pale area around eye, on brownish head. Mostly all dull, greyish-dark-brownish-blackish-brown plumage coloration; seems long-tailed. Dives for food, but I never saw it bring any food items to the surface. Foraged very close to shore at times, in a raging surf, along with a little group of other ducks: a pair of Harlequin Ducks, a couple of Surf Scoters, and a Black Scoter. A couple of Pelagic Cormorants also fed nearby.
