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.
