Red-throated Loon would be my guess...can't think of anything else that
would fit.

Subject: [MDBirding] New here. Please help me ID some birds
Hi all. Yesterday I was out birding Cape Henlopen and decided to move
farther south as the day progressed. I finished the day in Ocean City where
i saw a flock of these birds heading south quite a way off shore. The only
bird that comes to mind here is Black-necked Stilt, but I haven't seen them
at Bombay Hook in a while. They also did not appear to have black nape and
crown. There were at least 10 of them and there was no formation to the
flock. They weren't flying high but they weren't hugging the ocean's surface
either. Photos have been cropped and sharpened one click.

I'm also curious if anyone sees anything other than Scaup in these pictures.
I think I might have a Black Scoter, but I'm not sure.
