Comments:   Another active morning over the lake with afair number of Northern Pintail and Green-winged Teal as well as Redhead,scaup, White-winged Scoters, and Dunlin mostly moving west. Three all dark mysteryducks were with a flock of 15 White-winged Scoters, that looked a bit too largeand robust for Surf Scoters.  Maybeeiders?  I’ll never know for sure sincethe distance and light made it difficult to discern details.
