Surf Scoter - Nailed it!

A Surf Scoter was identified yesterday at Lone Star Lake in Douglas County.  Luckily, it was still there today.  This species is a black-and-white seaduck common on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts in winter.  It is a rare bird in Kansas.  As a bonus, there were Northern Rough-winged Swallows flying around at the lake, which I also added to my year list.

Surf Scoter - poor lighting and distance, but I got a photo.
