I have tried for Black Scoters for several years hoping to add them to gallery of photos of Surf and White-winged Scoters. Today I finally caught up with them along Ruston Way in Tacoma. There were five, two males, one juvenile and at least one female. The fifth one I can?t recall. Here is a link to a photo of the pair that stayed together.
