Observation details
Probable immature duck associating closely with Wigeons and Bufflehead on main lake. Beefy build, about the same size as the Wigeons, much larger than Bufflehead, overall dark brown with pale cheek contrasting with dark cap. Paler belly (effectively ages bird?) and solidly dark wings noted in flight, when the flock moved to another part of the lake. Dark bill, not as massive as would be seen on Surf Scoter. Tail length, rounded head shape and build wrong for Ruddy.
