Observation details
One adult and one 2nd cycle bird. Adult had a very dark gray mantle with brownish streaks on the head near the eye. Slightly larger than surrounding RBGU, but not nearly bulky enough for a slaty-backed, yellow-footed, or Great black-backed. Bill somewhat slender, unlike the huge axe-like appendage of the latter two species. Couldn’t see legs, as it was swimming with mergansers. 2nd cycle bird had the same proportions, but a mostly dark bill and a blackish gray mantle mixed with some dark brown. Have some poor, very distant photos.
