Beobachtungsdetails
Had head shape and markings of first winter surf scoter. Once it raised and flapped/stretched wings and there was no white on wing, so not white-winged scoter or scaup, etc. flanks were blotchy with darker spots on brown-- like molting into darker plumage. After seeing well initially, it put its head down and rested about 15 minutes drifting further away. then started moving around and diving when I took a few poor pictures through scope; but sufficient to show distinctive bill-head shape. glare on water when taking photos distorts color of plumage a bit. Appears to be a male, some white visible on bill,
