Observation details
Lone drake. Black back, gleaming white sides, tufted head, overall shaggy look to head plumage in windy conditions, blue bill with slight white ring before wide black tip. Bird was about 100 meters distant - easily viewed through X25-50 spotting scope. Though there was a mixed flock of GRSC and LESC in vicinity this bird remained aloof. Observed the bird for about 10 minutes before it flew away up river out of sight. We would not be surprised if this bird reappears with the lingering scaup flock - which is often distant.
