White-winged Scoter, Southfield 12-6 yes

[Cccta at aol.com]

Listers,
 This morning at about 7:45 the female type White-winged Scoter was present in the light snow/rain at the American Center Marsh in Southfield. Lots of small migrant Canada Geese there today too (no Cackling).  My 200th Oakland County bird and one not even on my radar for showing up there - Nice find Neil! I think it may be a first OC record.


Good Birding,

Scott Jennex
Ferndale
