I was driving by Lake Harriet and saw Chet with his spotting scope setup.  I stopped and asked what he was looking at.  When he told I jumped out of the car and ran over for look.  The bird was in the middle of lake so a scope is needed.

It was present @ 12:49PM, Sunday, Oct 17, 2010.

This morning about 10:00 A.M. I saw an adult male White-winged Scoter on Lake Harriet.  It was near the middle of the lake hanging out with a Pied-billed grebe.  
 
There were a couple of Common loons too, but very few other waterfowl.
 
Good luck.
