Larry Richardson and Jan Auburn joined me this morning.  There were a fair
number of birds moving on the lake with most of the ducks passing by the
last couple hours.  Of interest were 4 brant and 3 surf scoters.  There were
11 other scoters but they were too far to identify.  There was a large group
of Bonaparte's that were feeding over a mile offshore.  they were too far
out to search for rarities.  There were lots of migrant songbirds around
also.
