Dropped into check waterfowl at Cougar Bay on the northwest corner of Lake Coeur d'Alene (Kootenai Co., ID) this afternoon (Sat.,14 Nov'26) and was rewarded with a nice female type BLACK SCOTER in addition to a continuing female type SURF SCOTER! There was also a female type White-winged Scoter reported from NIC/City Beach on Thursday, so apparently a good year for these guys. In addition to the scoters on Cougar Bay today, also had a couple of adult TRUMPETER SWANs, a pair of their smaller TUNDRA cousins, a female type GREATER SCAUP, and an adult BONAPARTE'S GULL. If you'd like more information or specific location details, please let me know.Good Waterfowling,Doug _______________________________________________ Inland-nw-birders mailing list send email to: <Inland-nw-birders...> manage subscription: https://mailmanlists.us/mailman/listinfo/inland-nw-birders
