I arrived at the boat house in Aurora about 2:30 yesterday. There were
lots of ducks just offshore. I got my camera ready, stepped out of the
car and they started to take off. I snapped several photos not knowing
what if any shots I had gotten. Not very cooperative in my opinion.
Looked at the photos today and to my surprise there were White-winged
Scoters and a Surf Scoter. Not great shots, but definitely identifiable.
Two new life birds for me.
As I have said before I only add to my list when I have taken an
identifiable photo of the bird, so to me this is a biggie.
