Thanks to Gerry Hoekstra, yesterday Erika and I were able to list a flock of six Surf Scoters on Roy Lake in northwestern Rice Co. As you travel east to west, the birds fed about half-way across the lake. They were not hard to find, but they were distant, as you will see in my photos on my blog: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota [log in to unmask] http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet...Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ....”—H.
