Observation details
Counting scoters when noticed a larger, paler duck in their midst. Did a double take before yelling to pause the transects and for the Kaiden and Tavish to come look. Unmistakable chunky pale sea duck with pale line extending back from eye and large downward sloping black bill. Black bill rules out Common Eider and lack of spectacle pattern or dark brown rules out Spectacled and Steller’s. Probably the coolest bird I’ve ever found in BC, photos taken and will upload.
