After watching the wonderful Purple Sandpiper this afternoon I thought of going
back to Ithaca and chasing the Black Scoter.
I stopped first to the Marina and was pleasantly surprised to see 7 Black
Scoters flying in tight formation up the lake past the point. There were also 9
Surf Scoters, 3 Long-tailed Ducks, Horned and Pied-billed Grebes.
It is shaping up to be excellent lake watching. I wonder what else is waiting
to be discovered?

A nice female-type BLACK SCOTER was visible a few minutes ago from East Shore
Park, swimming steadily south. The immature BRANT that has been around for
several days was visible on the lake off the east end of Stewart Park. Last I
heard, the Purple Sandpiper was still showing well on the spit at Myers. Surf
Scoters and a continuing male LONG-TAILED DUCK were the other highlights from
Myers.
