There were 3 White-winged Scoters at Hok-Si-La Park in Goodhue County just
north of Lake City, MN this afternoon along with small numbers of Common
Goldeneyes, Buffleheads, and a couple of hundred Common Mergansers. The area is a
sandbar in the SE portion of the park. The Common Mergansers were moving today
but I only saw about 2,000 birds total with most just resting on the MN side a
mile south of Lake City.
On the Wisconsin side there was a classic 2nd-year Lesser Black-backed Gull
at the town of Pepin. The bird was feeding on a dead carp or buffalo on the
beach just below the Pickle Barrel restaurant at the south end of town.
