I was at Sims Park from about 9AM-10:30AM. All 3 species of scoters were present. One lone bonaparte's gull.
Black scoters-6
Surf scoters-6 ( 1 nice male )
White-winged-3
Stopped at Eastlake Power Plant on the way home. Red-breasted Mergansers and Bonaparte's in good numbers. Otherwise fairly quiet. Had some good company with some good stories while waiting for the little gull to flyby; it never did while I was there! Left around 1:30PM.
Great Black-backed-3
Blue heron-1
