Mississippi River today at Lock & Dam #11 had two Black Scoters (a first county record, I think), Red-necked Grebe, two Horned Grebes, two Red-breasted Mergansers, and a Common Loon. Documentation photos of BLSC and RNGR were submitted to eBird. Scores of ducks were rafting on the river, including Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, Canvasback, Redhead, Ruddy Duck, Northern Shoveler, American Black Duck, and Mallard. A few Bonaparte's Gulls were mixed in with a loafing flock of Ring-billed Gulls on the Wisconsin side of the river.
