When I arrived at 11:30 am, I found one Surf Scoter, female or immature, by scanning with telescope the scattered flock of Goldeneye. After the visit to E 72nd Street and the adjoining marina imoundment, where I also added Common Merganser, 1 drake, 1 female, I stopped at Sims again at about 3:00 pm and found the single female Black Scoter and one Surf Scoter, very likely the same female/immature that I saw in the morning by scoping the Goldeneye flock. Ended the day at Ashtabula. Gulls flocking on the ice in the river/harbor. Lots of Common Mergansers but no Black-tailed Gull. With the Black-crowned Night Herons in Columbus this morning on my way north, my January list is 90 after seven birding days.
