Long-tailed Duck and mixed scoter flock at Baker Beach
Prompted by Nico I went out to Baker Beach yesterday to check out the LTDU which was foraging with a good number of Surf Scoters (an array of ages) at the north end of the beach, quite close to shore.

Phainopepla at Fort Mason
Hey Folks and Adam, sorry I was a bit imprecise. Males can have white edging (which wears off, like with fresh Starlings) but it's the color. In males the feathers come in black and in stark contrast
