Observation details
21 in flock of 24 birds with 3 identifiable (1 SUSC, 2 WWSC) at 6:24. All appear to be likely Surf or possibly Black, but I can't say for sure. There were four birds together I thought were all male Black Scoters because I couldn't see any white on the nape or eye and the bills seemed bright yellow to me, but I also couldn't see any silvery color in the underwings. 2 more in flock of 6 at 6:26 where 4 of the 6 were clear SUSC. 90 in flock of 142 at 6:38.
