The Long-tailed Duck however is real, and looks to be a basic plumage male, albeit missing the namesake long tail.

Long Tailed Duck, Silver Strand

There is at least one female Black Scoter here as well, way north along the edge of the navy beach property. Possibly another near the Long-tail.
Great time for my camera to be dead

Torrey Pines Seawatch – Franklin’s Gull, etc.
By {authorlink} – 11:04 am
Highlighting a seawatch at Torrey Pines beach this morning was a first-winter Franklin’s Gull heading south just beyond the surfline at 8:40 a.m., so it might be worth keeping eyes out at likely spots along the coast in case the bird decides to take a break on the beach later today.
There were also good numbers of Pacific Loons and Surf Scoters – Paul counted approximately 4,000 of the former and 3,000 of the latter from La Jolla during his watch, which started earlier in the morning than mine. He also had a Long-tailed Duck go past La Jolla at 7:25 and I had an adult male Black Scoter go past Torrey Pines at 8:30.

North American Birds – Fall Migration 2022
By {authorlink} – 5:51 am
County Coordinators/Contributors:
The Fall Migration Season (1 August through 30 November 2022) is ended, and we solicit reports for inclusion in the Southern California Region of NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS. Reports should be arranged with species in the taxonomic order followed by the American Ornithologists Union (Check-List of North American Birds 1998 and all Supplements) and the American Birding Association (7th edition of the ABA Checklist, 2009 revised through 2020). Reports of species included on the California Bird Records Committee (CBRC) review list
http://www.californiabirds.org
must be accompanied by documentation (written description, photographs, etc.).
Similar documentation should also accompany reports of species unusual for the location or season. Full names, with all initials, should be used in the reports (this reduces the potential for different observers having the same initials, and makes it simpler to acknowledge contributors) – John P. Doe in lieu of John Doe.
Reports should be sent to the appropriate County Coordinators (listed below) or directly to Guy McCaskie by 19 December 2022. NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS cannot exist without your input.
