While canoeing and fishing the bay, I saw an unmistakable white-winged scoter near Smith's Point marina boat launch. Didn't know they were still around, so was really surprised to see him. Is this an injured bird that couldn't migrate? Was then happy to see two purple martins and quite a few seaside sparrows in the marsh grasses.
