I believe that this is the bird reported yesterday as a Black Scoter. There are currently no accepted eBird records of Black Scoter in either February or March. A photo of the bird can be found at the following link: http://flic.kr/p/rabZwZ Best, Alec Hopping Littleton, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
