OK, I give up or I need new eyes. Today at Marston Reservoir, I saw 2, first
winter White-winged Scoters in the north section of the lake. I thought one of
the Scoters had left the lake about 6 days ago, to find a second one today.
Again Marston birds tend to be way out far away, so maybe I just missed the
bird or it went somewhere else temporarily. After looking for birds almost
daily at Marston for 3 weeks now, hopefully I will get a better look at the
Scoters tomorrow duriing the xmas count. Who knows, maybe the Surf Scoter is
out there in the lake, also. I could not find any Tundra Swans anywhere today
in other nearby ponds/lakes. Marston, because it is so deep is not the best
feeding habitat for Swans. It would be very difficult for Swans to get seeds
and roots, and plant material. Because of this, both Trumpeter and Tundra Swans
only stay at Marston for about a day or several hours when migrating in late
fall [at least this is my experience]. Good luck everyone on the christmas
counts ! Tina JonesLittleton, Jefferson County, CO
