Observation details
Counted by tens through spotting scope at ca 20-40x while in a huge raft far out on the lake. I was having some trouble determining whether EAGR or HOGR at that distance. Noted relatively small heads on narrow necks; heads with a pointy peak approx. in the middle; bills seemed small, though that detail was not seen well. Generally dark overall with some buffy-orange color on the flanks; and bright yellow-orange patches seeming to be on the side, not the top, of the cheek (though hard to tell with bobbing in scope). All in breeding plumage.
