There were 3 White-winged Scoters at Hok-Si-La Park in Goodhue County just north of Lake City, MN this afternoon along with small numbers of Common Goldeneyes, Buffleheads, and a couple of hundred Common Mergansers. The area is a sandbar in the SE portion of the park. The Common Mergansers were moving today but I only saw about 2,000 birds total with most just resting on the MN side a mile south of Lake City. On the Wisconsin side there was a classic 2nd-year Lesser Black-backed Gull at the town of Pepin. The bird was feeding on a dead carp or buffalo on the beach just below the Pickle Barrel restaurant at the south end of town.
