birdsandbats 19 Apr 2019 Nice photo! I'm not sure you had to put "American" though, because in the Old World their (sub)species is referred to as Velvet Scoter.

ThylacineAlive 20 Apr 2019 @birdsandbats Thanks! I included it because the zoo did and also I think the lumped species is referred to as "white-winged scoter" and thus an alternate name for the Velvet Scoter would be the European White-Winged Scoter. ~Thylo

TeaLovingDave 20 Apr 2019 @birdsandbats @ThylacineAlive The distinction is required whatever you call the European population, as it distinguishes the American White-winged from the Asian White-winged.
