Hi - 

This Common Scoter throws its head back early in the flapping sequence, then 
forward and down toward its chest before settling back down. So the full 
sequence includes both.

By going back into the OBOL archives and looking at photos taken of the Common 
Scoter I learned that sometimes it exercises its wings with its head thrown 
back, and sometimes with it thrown forward. Maybe Black Scoter does the same 
thing??
