Dave I've read where migrating American golden plovers stash food items in
their plumage from S. American to the N. American continent for a quick
bite when needed. I'll be darned but I can't seem to remember what the
items were. I'll look it up when I go home. Maybe your Scoters do the same.

While watching WW Scoters at Willard Town Park today, one caught a
crayfish..when reviewing pics at home later, one of the Scoters appears to
have had a saltwater crab attached to its chest.as the WW Scoter rises to
stretch its wings the crab is visible, appears to detach and be caught
