The scoter male was following several scaup females during almost the whole two hours I observed it. It was also calling a single whistle note frequently, as it is shown doing here.

(For the record, I had brought out my big artillery photographically. This photo was taken with a 500mm f/4 with a 1.4X teleconverter on a Canon 7D,) Richmond marina, Richmond, Contra Costa Co., California
