Observation details
First island record. Flew in between the landing cove and housing (flying directly behind Peter Larramendy as AJS was talking to him facing the sea) and proceeded to fly towards Arch Point low over the island proper. ID went from RNDU on first impression to GRSC (with some hesitation) and then suggestions were given of REDH, and then finally returned to RNDU. The bill and face patterns are consistent with HY male RNDU (the former inconsistent with GRSC) and the dark trailing edge to the wing that fades on the secondaries is consistent with RNDU and also different from that shown by scaup, which have a complete trailing edge through the entire wing.
