Sunday, about 10 am, East Shore park, I spotted what I thought was a pair of
white-winged scoters far off shore to the north west. I noticed an oval white
spot on the back of the male's head. With the help of a birder from NW Pa., I
learned that they were SURF SCOTERS.
There were dozens of SWALLOWS ( n. rough-winged, tree, and barn) acrobatically
feeding just off shore in the steady northern wind. Two CASPIAN TERNS were
flying up the lake. Also seen: some DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, a few RING
BILLED GULLS. Otherwise, not much.
