[mou] White-winged Scoters; Saturday's Loon

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

The two White-winged Scoters were still present on the southwest corner of 
Big Lake, Sherburne County this morning (took a bit of time to find).

Thanks, Craig M., for posting these - county birds are always worth the 
effort!

Received word that a second birder, independently, noted the unusual loon on 
Mille Lacs Lake, Garrison overlook, on Saturday morning (see prior post for 
some details) - this is now two that felt it might be an Arctic (I thought 
aberrant Pacific, but would be happy to be overruled).

Good birding to all!
