[mou] White-winged Scoter, Dakota Co.

[Bruce Fall]

This afternoon (12 Jan., 2:00 p.m.) Susan Fall and I watched a female  
White-winged Scoter in the Mississippi R. at Prescott, WI. We  
observed it from the Freedom Park visitor center SE of town, and also  
later from the cemetery 1/2 mi. E of the park. The scoter spent most  
of its time on the MN side of the river (Dakota Co.). Earlier (1:30  
p.m.), the previously reported male Harlequin Duck was in the St.  
Croix R. N of Point Douglas Park (Washington Co.).
