(Posted by Andrew D. Smith <[log in to unmask]> via moumn.org) My apologies for the lateness of this post. My schedule and technical issues prevented a more timely message. This afternoon I discovered a female/immature type Surf Scoter on Orchard Lake in Lakeville. Although this is a small lake, any searchers will require a scope. While this species is more frequently observed on the TC lakes, it is very unusual in Dakota County, with this being only the 4th report.
