Observation details
Worn first spring bird across the bay in a small low tide cove basically across from this location. Mostly white head, with pale brown on crown, all dark bill (no pink), and a large black cheek patch. White below except for brownish wash on breast, brown back and it looked like worn brown wings. Resting and preening on sandy shoreline with Surf Scoters and female plumaged Red-breasted Merganser. (photo)
