There was quite a bit of activity on the lake again today.  Lots of
waterfowl moving with light gull numbers.  Most interesting was a very
distant jaeger.  It flew around a bit, but it was so far out I had to leave
it unidentified.  It was heading east.  Also of note was a group of 11 black
scoters, a group of 3 white-winged scoters, and a long-tailed duck.  There
seems to be a small number of wintering scoters.  I seem to see a few every
day that I watch the lake.
