This afternoon I met Larry and Lenna Mae Gara at Rocky Fork State Park in Highland County. At the east end of the lake we found a female Surf Scoter. To get to the area we viewed it from, take SR 27 (N Shore Drive) east to SR 753, turn right. Take the next right, and the another quick right into park property. There's a gravel road to the right which goes down to the water.
