Observation details
Continuing female; great find yesterday by Philip Georgakakos. Same location, maybe a bit farther west? (37.7672805, -122.3016628) Didn’t have my scope but found her from the end of the jetty with the viewfinder zoom on my 800mm. Scrambled over the rocks for a better photo but never seemed to actually get closer; settled for distant pics of Zeno’s scoter. White cheek, dark cap; thinner bill than other scoters; steep forehead and sharp angle to the bill also rules out other scoters (and ruddy). Swimming closely among surf scoters and a few scaups. Anyone want to tell her about the two males in Richmond Marina?
