Event Remarks Viewing Conditions: Distance: When first seen and identified the bird was at most 1600 feet away, my subsequent movement brought me within 200 feet of the bird. Light: Excellent light conditions were in existance [sic] during the time of observation. The sky was clear, little or no wind, with the sun in the southern sky, behind me, while the Black Scoter was viewed to the northwest. I observed the bird with a Bushnell Space Master Zoom 20X to 45X and through Bushnell 7X35 binoculars.
