Surf Scoter

(Melanitta perspicillata)

Description:

My visit was attended by gloomy fog and light rain, which degraded image captures across the water. Scaup, Common Mergansers, and Bufflehead shared these waters, but stayed far away in the fog. This first-year Surf Scoter came in a bit closer. I’d visited the mouth of the Klamath River, south of Crescent City in the past.
