In addition to the usual Loons, DC Cormorants, and Ring-billed Gulls on the lake, we were surprised to find a flock of 17 Greater Scaup and 2 White-winged Scoters in the middle of Great Pond about noon today while out on our last boat ride of the season on this great Indian summer day.
Upon returning to land, we also had a mixed flock of migrants, mostly yellow-rumps, 2 pine warbler and a few White-throated sparrows in addition to my usual feeder birds.
A complete list and photos of the Scoters and Scaup can be found at: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S19957416
