Jan 5, 2004 TVA Lake, Ensley Memphis, Shelby County At about 1:00 p.m. today, I got to see the female Black Scoter seen and reported by Jeff Wilson at Ensley (TVA Lake) yesterday. A new state bird to start off the year! It took a while of scanning before I found the bird. It napped mostly, and required being seen in profile (otherwise blends in with the scaup). When I saw the white cheek, I knew I had the bird. Thank you, Ol' Coot!
