[Birdtalk] black scoter at Lincoln Beach

[Lu Giddings]

Just returned from a few hours at Lincoln Beach. I spotted the black scoter
before I knew it had been posted. It was there all afternoon, feeding in
water so shallow that at times killdeer were wading around it. Erich Huish,
Ned Bixler, Cheryl Peterson, and Dennis and Bryan Shirley came out and saw
the bird as well.

The snow bunting was spotted late this afternoon on the north dike, near the
end.

A pair of least sandpipers was spotted in the company of roughly 40
killdeer, also at Lincoln Beach.
