This evening I spotted a group of nine Surf Scoters on the lake just
north
of Bradford Beach. I also found the Harlequin Duck which was reported
yesterday. It was swimming just ten feet offshore along the rocks
north of
Bradford Beach. The face is largely off-white, which leads me to
think that
this is a juvenile bird.

This morning Todd Wilson and I found a Lapland Longspur between the
rocks
and the soccer field.
