- Comments: "Continuing female present since mid-January. This morning it was across the harbor from the North T-Pier. The bill appeared dark through the scope but recent photos have shown it to be dark green and without the pink expected on a male. It shows mottled dark plumage along the crown and down the nape and a mostly white face with a big dark cheek patch. There was a pale grayish band across the upper chest, but otherwise the bird was white below. The back and wings were dark. Photo"
