Five people joined me in the annual DFO "Scoter Trip" to various mountain lakes.
Two species of scoters were found! :-)
A few Barrow's Goldeneye's were also seen as well as a surprising FIVE Greater Yellowlegs at Ice Pond in Buena Vista (VERY odd for November...and at such a high elevation).
The weather cooperated wonderfully with very light winds and only the occasional "spitting" water droplets.
Below are the summary results of the trip.
