This evening around 5:30pm I had some time to scan the lake for gulls =
and jaegers. As soon as I set my scope a White-winged Scoter flew by =
and soon after I found a small raft of ducks that included three Surf =
Scoters and a one Black Scoter.
Of the three scoters two of the Surf Scoters were adults in alternate =
plumage and so was the White-winged Scoter! Very colorful in the grey =
waters and the light behind me. The Black Scoter was most likely a =
juvenile bird and so was one of the Surf Scoters.
Earlier in the afternoon I was at the same spot at Park Pt. with Tom =
Auer and we found 4 Surf Scoters in winter plumage fly by us fairly =
close to the beach.
Other birds at the Point.
Black-bellied Plover
Golden Plover
Least Flycatcher
Nashville Warbler
Bonaparte's Gull
Common Terns
* Bohemian Waxwings near the airport in a small Mt. Ash tree on the bay =
side.
