I think it is actually a SCOTER that had just gone out on a bender and ended
up far south from where he was suppose to be. While drunk, his little duck
buddies applied make-up, dye and hair gel to give him this odd hair doo and
markings.

I am adding it to my yearly list as SCOTER species.
Whatever scoter is decided upon by the powers that be, I will change it to
that for my COMAL list.

Have a good holiday weekend.
