The immature Black Scoter was finally found this afternoon at Lake Byllesby
about 2:15pm at the lake access at the small section of county land off of
Cty 88 which is just a short distance west of the church. I was at the lake
trying to find the bird from about 8:45am (and met several others looking as
well) so I was quite elated to find it - and then have it hanging around
quite close to shore as well. The wind had also died down by that time to
the point were the water was almost flat (significantly different from what
it was on Sunday). The two plovers and the dunlin were still hanging around
the sandbars out from the cemetery viewing area. There were at least 3 or 4
Common Loons present on the lake as well as two Ruddy Ducks, some Common
Mergansers and two pair of Hooded Mergansers. An additional find was a
Horned Grebe which I initially spotted just out from the Goodhue County
public access area near the west end of the lake.
