Kevin Manley and I checked out Point Douglas Park this afternoon and we did not find the Black Scoter. Kevin also checked the Prescott side with no luck.
The Minnesota side is icing over quickly and there isn't much open water left, but it should open up again once the temps get into the 20s next week. In front of the beach, there were still 63 Trumpeter Swans, a Canvasback, and two Coots on ice that had just formed. (The Coots are now stranded and the Canvasback left while we were there.) Closer to the bridge, there was a good raft of Common Mergansers with at least a couple of Red-breasted Mergansers mixed in, and a smaller raft of Common Goldeneyes. Washington County.
