[TN-Bird] Surf Scoter Coro Lake Dec. 1

The immature Surf Scoter continues on Coro Lake. It's a runt, nearly the same 
size as the Ring-necked Ducks there in some numbers, but bulkier (though not as 
beefy as other scoters I've seen). It has only a patch of white in front of the 
eye, not a nape patch. It took some looking to pick it out (thank you, Jeff) 
and thankfully we watched it preen some, so the dark wing and unmistakeable 
bill confirm the species.
