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.
