Not a very birdy time at Easy Fork SP but I did manage to get great looks at a White-winged Scoter there. Spotted it from the beach but the bird was hanging with Ruddy Ducks on the other side (defined as the side opposite anyone with birding on their mind, apparently). I went over to the dam and found the bird again with some Mallards and Black Ducks, who were then flushed by a boat, affording great looks at the bird's brilliant white secondaries. Only 27 species today but nice to see the scoter. James A.
