BSG Members,

Apologies for those of you who subscribe to LABIRD as this is a repeat sent 
earlier in the day. Kincaid is the location where I found a White-winged Scoter 
on 10-30 and another scoter - maybe the same one - on 11-3. 

I need Eared Grebe and American Goldeneye for my year list and Kincaid is a 
convenient big water location to search for those birds that is close to home. 

If you are interested in birds at Kincaid Reservoir, check ebird hotspots for 
Louisiana. It is an ebird hotspot.

Guess this is only about the 4th or 5th time in 35 years of watching egrets and 
herons to see a Great Egret swimming like a duck in deep water.
