Yesterday, when returning on the Washington Island ferry I was birding off
the Northport dock and saw a WHITE -WINGED SCOTER, my first sighting of this
bird in Wisconsin. One of the ferry captains said there had been a pair of
them around for a few days.
There was a large raft of GREATER SCAUP and quite a large group of COMMON
GOLDENEYES. When leaving the dock and entering the "Door" there were
thousands of LONG-TAILED DUCKS in the deep water. It is interesting that we
live right across from Plum Island and seldom see Long-tails in front of our
house which is probably not 2 miles away from the area that the long-tails
hang out. It must be something about the deeper water.
The ferry captain also said that a GLAUCOUS GULL had be spotted in a group
of Herring Gull a few days ago.
