Immature male
Observation details
Stocky duck with thick neck and head. One was immature male--kind of a faded black with black bill and white secondaries. It was by itself, resting on the water with its head tucked back, then became more alert and eventually flew west towards the I-5 bridge. Nearby, (west of the immature one) was a small raft of scoters heading west with another white-winged at the front of the raft. This one was larger than the other scoters, which made it easier to ID than the rest of the scoters because of the waves/choppy water. It had the faded black, black bill and white secondaries, but this one had two round white facial patches, one in front and one behind the eye--a female.
