Observation details
Two females. Flat crown connecting directly to large triangular bill. No curvature in the bill profile as in White -winged Scoter. We watched these birds preening for about 10 minutes during which time they rolled, repositioning their wings and reared up flapping their wings - no white wing patches. We reviewed these carefully as White-winged Scoter was reported from this location the previous day. These Surf Scoters are almost certainly the two females that have been here since Nov 2, 2023.
