Observation details
Seen at first among the scaup flock. When the flock lifted up, these birds did too, but they flew in a different direction and set down away from the scaup and closer to us. We got good views of their large, spatulate bills, and we also got a good opportunity to study the male's plumage. I managed a documentation photo. (We got MUCH better views than this photo would seem to indicate--I just had the wrong camera for digiscoping and had to do the best that I could.)
