This morning at 7:45AM at Donna Lake I saw the Long-tailed Duck and Surf Scoter with the large flock of Lesser Scaup on the east side of Val Verde Rd. They were in the northwest corner of the east side and provided good scope views but it would be tough with binocs unless you got closer. The flock seems more approachable if you are quiet.
