I just got back from a four-day trip to South Carolina and learned of the White-winged Scoter found by Rick Knight at Wilbur Lake on Nov. 3. I made a quick trip to the lake this morning (Nov. 8) before work and found the scoter still present. The duck seemed to be associating loosely with a group of Ring-necked Ducks in the area of the lake in front of the picnic area before crossing the bridge spanning Wilbur.
The White-winged Scoter provided a great way to get back to East Tennessee birding. More on my birding in S.C. later.
