Black Scoter (male) - Duxbury Beach, MA - May 15, 2014 - molting from 1st winter plumage

I've not seen this plumage up close before. The orange is surprisingly bright in the bright sun. I've only seen it against the jet black plumage of the adult male. The birds were about 100 feet west of the beach road at full high tide - unusually close; this allowed me to take these shots from my car with 400x lens.
