Surf Scoter

When I spied this duck on 27 February 2020 at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, I first thought we had a Black Scoter. I noted no large white patches on the head or neck and no white in the wing. The bill, however, looked like a dull Surf Scoter. This Surf Scoter is typical of a first-winter, male.
