Media notes
Three of the four Surf scoters seen, with one of the White-winged in the background.
Observation details
Medium sized scoters (of the three species present) with the heaviest bills. All female/immature plumaged birds. Dark grayish-brown overall with pale lores and postocular spot. Pale patch on the face (where the bill meets the face) more vertical in shape and more clearly defined than the blurrier and less distinctly demarcated white patches on the faces of the White-winged Scoters present. Heads appeared the blockiest of the scoters present. No white present on the wings when out-stretched (as was the case with the White-winged Scoters). Reported earlier in the day by C Rustay and M Shoop.
