All,
There’s a nicely documented adult male Stejneger's from Helena, Montana in
April 2015. It’ll be interesting to see what the records committee does with
the record. Point is, Stejneger's has occurred in the lower 48.

So I know I saw a White-winged Scoter at Prospect Lake and/or Big Johnson
Reservoir in Colorado Springs in winter but I wouldn't know how to begin to
tell what it is now. I doubt I have the photos that might be needed - I
wonder if anyone has gone through past photos or other evidence etc. and
