Almost no wind today meant conditions for viewing at Stewart Park this morning were much better than yesterday, although light fog and shimmer limited distance.

A new arrival of the season was a single Common Goldeneye.

In a flock of Aythya was a single much darker bird that was the shape and size of a female Black Scoter. However, it didn't seem to have the light patch on the head that I would have expected. Was the Black Scoter seen in recent days consistent with this?
