Odd looking sea duck at Seaside Cove - there seems to be too much white on the face for a White-winged Scoter.(Still image above, animated GIF below.)
Here is the bird as it opens up and flaps its wings. The white areas on underwing and top of wings look right for White-winged Scoter. (Still image above, animated GIF below.)
Another look at the bird floating on the water. (Still image above, animated GIF below.)
The Cove is a popular spot for surfers, especially when the surf is like it was today, with the east wind.
