Good description includes relavent field marks. Spencer also did a good job eliminating other species.

Good, detailed report (& I saw the bird). One thing: I thought that Spencer reported on IBLE that the other 2 folks listed on the report saw 2 individual BLSCs on 11-19. If so, this would be an important addition.

Description, especially of face pattern, eliminates all other species except Surf Scoter. Bill shape as described is consistent with Black and not Surf Scoter. Description is of female or immature Black Scoter.
