Sorry for the delay in getting this out, I've been busy.

I had some guest over so I was not watching the entire time.  I can imagine
the numbers had I been.  this was one of my better days ever for scoters.
This was my all time high for white-winged scoters in a day.  there was a
nice variety of other ducks also.  I was happy with my count of 4
long-tailed ducks until I saw that over 3,000 were counted from near Presque
Isle Pennsylvania.
