White-winged Scoter - Melanitta deglandi (first year male, adult male)
Location: Wrightsville Beach, NC (USA)
Going through my photos of these birds, I was amazed to see how their plumage repelled water so strongly. Here the birds were powering along against some wind and chop.

@robcrank68.bsky.social picked the day's #BirdOfTheDay theme: #DivingForFood it is.
I'm going with a rare winter guest we have in the bigger lakes here, the velvet scoter.
They tend to be out on the lake where they feed mostly on molluscs in depths of 20-30m.

Primeiro día nunha semana en que para de chover un pouco. Aproveitamos para visitar os pentumeiros fuscos (Melanitta fusca) que andan por Nerga desde hai uns días. Os temporais, ademais, están metendo gaivotas pequenas (Hydrocoloeus minutus) na ría.

De #Amerikaanse_zee-eend #Melanitta_americana is een forse zee-eend met brede kop. Het mannetje is zwart met een opvallende oranje snavelknobbel; het vrouwtje is bruin. Hij broedt in Noord-Amerika en overwintert langs kusten, waar hij duikt naar schelpdieren.

Lots of interesting #birds in downtown Budapest in the past few days. Wallcreeper, Arctic and Red-throated #Loons , Horned (ie: Slavonian) #Grebes and this... a female Common Scoter (Melanitta nigra). All these species are uncommon but regular mid-winter visitors. #BirdingHungary
