Observation details
Rare. Found by Jon Ruddy. North shore of PEPTNWA between lookout and Traverse Woods. Well offshore (300 metres) with ~40 White-winged Scoters (scope was necessary to see it). Large sea duck (similar in size to the scoters) but warm brown overall with chevroned barring on the flanks and all brown wings (no white visible when diving or flapping wings). Bill dark and relatively fine with brown-feathered rounded U shape protruding into it from the face. Looked happy. Tricky find as at quite a distance and multiple faded brown female White-winged Scoters present at location. Likely would not have detected it but for heads up from Mr. Ruddy. Record photo.
