Okay, so the light wasn't great (overcast day) and this was shot from a ferry, but after throwing various post-processing tools at it, I thought it came out reasonble, mostly because of that very bright orange knob on the bill. I hadn't seen one of these before, but I think they tend to stay offshore, so not a surprise.

very nicely caught! I prefer overcast for birds as it brings out the plumage variations very nicely!

Thanks! It's not a great photo, but kind of an unusual sighting for me, given their tendency (in my area) to be off shore. Overcast was probably the best light given the time of day, but there wasn't much color anywhere ... except for that orange knob.
