This morning, at about 11, I spotted a female Black Scoter from the fishing
pier at Emeryville Marina. There were also 2 Common Loons, one of which
provided excellent, close views of its almost full breeding plumage. When we
returned at about 5 PM, we were greeted with close views of 2 Pelagic
Cormorants feeding near the pier. There were also 2 Red-throated Loons
nearby on the dock side of the pier.
At the San Leandro Marina at about 3 PM, an adult male White-winged Scoter
was feeding just off the rip-rap at Mulford Point.
I didn't have my camera in the morning, but here are some photos of the
afternoon birds:
