Observation details

2 interesting female scaups below the upper parking lot. Constantly diving; head shapes more rounded with no apparent 'point' behind the eye as would be fitting for LESC, although their diving behavior made this difficult to judge. Wide black nails on bill tips also interesting, but not a clinching feature.
