Stejneger's Scoter

Melanitta stejnegeri

Stejneger's scoter (Melanitta stejnegeri), also known as the Siberian scoter, is a large sea duck. There are a number of differing characteristics of Stejneger's scoter and the white-winged scoter. Males of the white-winged scoter have browner flanks, dark yellow coloration of most of the bill and a less tall bill knob, approaching the velvet scoter. Stejneger's scoter has a very tall knob at the base of its mostly orange-yellow bill. Females are identical in the field.
