While I was doing an aquatic vegetation survey on Green Lake yesterday (I work for the DNR), one of the summer interns noticed an unusual looking duck. I didn't have binoculars with me, but we were able to drive the boat close enough to get a good view before it dove. It was a large duck, dark brownish in color with a white mark by its eye and white on the wings. The intern thought it looked like a scoter. I checked the Sibley app on my iPhone, and sure enough, it looked just like a white winged scoter. The bird was near the southwest shore of the lake; the only way to see it would be by boat. The lake is about five miles east of Princeton, just south of highway 95. A public access is located on the north side of the lake on Pine Lane.
