25 birders gathered on Saturday, October 16th, 7:30 AM in the Dairy Queen
parking lot near Onamia to enjoy loons along the Mille Lacs Lake.
Unfortunately, the loons forgot to show up (should have called ahead). We
viewed ~15 Common Loons between Onamia Garrison (and one suspicious
character
This morning about 10:00 A.M. I saw an adult male White-winged Scoter on Lake
Harriet. It was near the middle of the lake hanging out with a Pied-billed
grebe.
There were a couple of Common loons too, but very few other waterfowl.
Good luck.

I was driving by Lake Harriet and saw Chet with his spotting scope setup. I
stopped and asked what he was looking at. When he told I jumped out of the car
and ran over for look. The bird was in the middle of lake so a scope is needed.
It was present @ 12:49PM, Sunday, Oct 17, 2010.

The Scoter is now being seen on Lake Calhoun.

The adult male White-winged Scoter that was seen in Hennepin County on Lake
Harriet in Minneapolis this morning has relocated to Lake Calhoun also in
Minneapolis. Of interest was a Western Grebe on Harriet with 9 Pied-billed
Grebes that were not there this am when I saw the WWSC. I then swung
On my way to look for the White-winged Scoter this afternoon, I stopped by
the Rogers sewage ponds and found a Ross Goose associating with the Canada
and Cackling Geese.
I did find the White-Winged Scoter on Lake Harriet before it moved, so my
thanks to Tom Tustison for posting it.
