While counting American Crows from the porch, I spotted the scoter swimming by
the dock and got the scope on it -
It appeared to be a first year male:
distinctive white secondaries
red legs
black base of bill with small knob and yellow bill coloration
pale head patch behind eye, white eyes, no eye comma present
wing patches and red legs evident as scoter flew upriver after approximately 5
minutes of viewing
A nice consolation with waterfowl numbers so low here this winter!
