Title: Can you ID these birds for us?
Post by: rocklakemama on April 12, 2014, 11:09:52 PM

My husband and I saw so many birds yesterday. We had not seen these three before. Can you tell us what they are? Thanks!

1. Male White-winged Scoter.
2. Male and female Common Merganser.
3. Two male and one female Greater Scaup, based mainly on the amount of black on the tip of the bills and I don't see the "bump" on any of the heads.
