A Surf Scoter drake faces the camera with his black body, white forehead, and weird black & white & red & orange bill.
A scoter hen emerges from the briny deep, behind the back of the drake with his bright white nape.
Two scoters facing one another. The bird on the left has a white wash on the nape, along with the other markings of an adult hen.

A small black duck with a bright yellow and orange bill swims in a green ocean on a cloudy day.
I did it! I saw the surf scoters under the pier in Imperial Beach! They are gorgeous birds.

An illustration of three surf scoters. In the upper right one spreads his wings, while in the bottom left a female and male swim serenely by. In the water is text that says “surf scoter”
Ok starting to play with the #birbfest2026 prompts a little. Birds native to SoCal are my bread and butter, so I’m taking birds on the list and doing a similar native bird instead. So instead of a razorbill doing another water bird, a surf scoter!

Photo: Thirty ducks, White-winged Scoters and Surf Scoters, are flying away from the camera. They are flying low over ruff, whitecapped water. In the background to the right side of the picture a lighthouse tower and a small building with a sloped roof are standing on rocks rising from the water. Behind the lighthouse is a forest in shadow on a hill that angles down across the picture from top right to bottom left. Behind that hill is a sunlit mountain covered in trees that go from waterline to the top of the picture that makes it look like a wall of trees.
Surf Scoters and White-winged Scoters flying low over the water of Burrard inlet with the Point Atkinson Lighthouse in the background.

Gorgeous male surf scoter I saw at the Bay a few weeks ago. He was very close to the beach playing in the surf, riding some waves and diving into others.

Morning, just one would do. I probably don't do enough sea watching to get a Spurn Surf Scoter. These were off St Paul, Alaska 2016. There are 5 records for #spurnbirds the last in 2014.
