Media notes
Bird on far left. Looks like a first winter surf scoter.
Observation details
(Rare): Audrey got photos (though end of daylight dim and far away, so ...): maybe likeliest just an odd Surf Scoter, but overall just dark blackish bird like might be Black Scoter, except size and structure and large bill maybe a better fit for Surf Scoter: NO white wing patches when spread wing : under belly and underwing slightly paler than upperside , similar to Surf SC : but, overall blackish bird with NO white cheek patch or white patch behind head, ... : bill appeared mostly entirely maybe a yellowish color ? with maybe some small white blop near base ?
