I didn't go back to Sims Park Sunday but was curious/skeptical when it was noted that Surf Scoters were not seen Sunday so I loaded up the gear today and left straight from work. I was at Sims today from 4:40pm to 5:20pm. Lately I have seen all the goldeneye spread out but late today they were mostly far east of the pier. I was able to locate one Surf Scoter in with the Common Goldeneye and it was sleeping part of the time. I counted at least 197 Common Goldeneye, 4 Bufflehead, 1 Scaup, only dozens of Red-breasted Mergansers and small numbers of Ring-billed Gulls. There was 1 Horned Grebe near the pier when I arrived. A scope is necessary.
