This afternoon (Dec. 1, 2:00-3:15) I observed a White-winged Scoter (female plumage) at Black Dog Lake (Dakota Co.), west end access. Distant views, mostly hugging far (south) shore with Ring-necked Ducks and Common Mergansers; scope is necessary. eBird checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S26091538 Bruce Fall, Minneapolis ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
