Re: [cobirds] "Black Scoter," City Park (Denver)

Good catch.  In the dying light I clearly missed the thicker bill that does indeed, make this bird a ruddy duck.  Sorry for the missed ID.

Subject: [cobirds] "Black Scoter," City Park (Denver)

Hi All,    I am currently looking at a fairly worn male Ruddy Duck in City Park (Denver). I   believe that this is the bird reported yesterday as a Black Scoter. There are   currently no accepted eBird records of Black Scoter in either February or March.       A photo of the bird can be found at the following link: http://flic.kr/p/rabZwZ    Best,  Alec Hopping  Littleton, CO    --   You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups   "Colorado Birds" group.
