I was able to get some pics of the Surf Scoter over at the Fish Hatchery. The only thing that I found odd about him, is that all the pictures I see the males have a white patch on the face. This one did not....wondering if it was some sort of hybrid. I also was able to get some pics of Longspurs in breeding plumage over on Washburn Rd near Killdeer Plains Pond 27 Here is link to blog post.
