After looking over my photos with guidebooks at hand, it’s pretty clear the bird I saw this morning was not one of yesterday’s Black Scoters after all, but rather a female/immature Surf Scoter.  Sorry for the confusion.

It was hanging out with a raft of coots. At 11:36 it flew north out of sight but didn't seem to be leaving the reservoir.
