Observation details
The first two photos are probably a female Surf Scoter and the third photo could be too, but may be a female Ruddy. The fourth photo I thought was a loon in the field the way it rose up and flapped its wings and rode in the water, but one photo looks like a male Surf Scoter; some other birder might be able to ID by wing shape - Photos too poor to ID for me. The last bird was in the main bay beyond the sand spits at the south end of the Reserve.
