Observation details
Male - sleeping in the water with a group of Common Mergansers and Ruddy Ducks. I had scope views and distant photos (about the limit for my camera). Adult male in breeding plumage -- head dark greenish black with wispy double crest; white collar; cinnamon brown streaked breast; gray flanks; when swimming -- large area of white on upper inner wing with small anterior black and white checkered area. Bill not visible because the bird was sleeping. See attached photos.
