Pretty certain I saw a pair of Smew (m+f) off Deer Island this afternoon.
Male had bright white head and black mask and bill. Body was gray, black
around edges. Female had patterned head but I wasn't looking at it too
closely. They were diving and when I finally got my scope on them, it was
too dark to help much. Can't see what else they could be.
Anyone want to talk some sense into me?-)
