Cobirders,
A possible male white-winged scoter is hanging out on the Northern shore of Boulder Reservoir. Has been sitting with his head tucked by his back, but has a clear white streak behind his eye, is dark black above and below. Orange spots from the legs are visible above the water heavily to the rear near the flanks of the bird. Short black tail pointed upwards somewhat. Size was slightly larger than the American wigeon swimming right next to it and slightly smaller than the western grebes also nearby.
Additional birds of some significance - a common loon in the southeast corner of the reservoir.
Regards,
Mark Minner-Lee
