A single White-winged Scoter was seen on the Ohio River at Duffy's Landing  
on the Indiana side of the river (boat launching ramp). It was easily  viewed 
for several hours and was still diving and preening at 5:00p. Eddie Huber  
should have some very nice photos.
The bird moved up the river only short distances and would drift back,  
usually in sight from the parking lot on the Indiana bank directly across  from 
Cox's Park. Once, it was disturbed by a boat being lauched and it drifted  as 
far 
down river, as to be directly across from the Louisville Water  Tower. After 
~15 minutes it flew back to Duffy's Landing.
