A male Black Scoter is scooting toward the bottom right corner of the fame. Three other males and a female go about their business.
Perhaps Black Scoter hens are attracted to the drake who scoots away the best.

Great to catch up with the first #BlackScoter for #Wirral yesterday morning off the East Hoyle sandbank, Hoylake #UKBirding
A pair of compact sea-ducks flap low over the ocean, the male, black with a bright orange bill, followed by a more subtly colored female.

Black Scoters are still rare in Kansas. This gorgeous adult male was at Lake Shawnee today. #BlackScoter #Ducks #birds #birding #Kansas #Ornithology #KansasOrnithologicalSociety
An elusive sea-duck appears briefly in range, and almost in focus, as it flies past us over wintry gray waves. A bright, thick orange bill is the only highlight against fully black feathers.
