This morning there was a male black scoter in Duluth. The bird was seen on the bayside of Minnesota Point near the soccer fields adjacent to the airport. This was a lifer for me and a rather beautiful one at that :) Bird present from 08:00 to at least 09:30, I tried to show a most gracious birder (Hi Mel!) the bird, but it evaded us. It was noted to periodically associate with the goldeneyes while feeding 30 to 50 yards off shore. I will post a picture of the bird in the showcase section of MOU. Regards, Shawn Zierman.
