I was at Sims Park Sat but missed the 40 Scoters others saw. I only saw a few Scoters in the AM and the rain, wind and waves made ID's difficult for me. Friday late there were about 8-10 Hooded Mergansers with the Scoter group. This is what I saw today around 1:30 to 2:15pm from high cliff far east end of park: Scaup - around 10 Total of 24-25 Scoters (east northeast of pier) Black Scoters 10-12 Surf Scoter 11-12 White-winged Scoter 1 for sure-probably 2 Common Goldeneye - 30 or so Bufflehead 12+ Red-breasted Mergansers - many more flying west Had another Fox Sparrow and White-throated Sparrow in my backyard 11/11 together just like on 11/6 in the late afternoon.
