Four Scoters at DeWeese Res., Custer Co.

[mille...@aol.com]

Today I found four juvenile type scoters at DeWeese Reservoir.  I watched them for a while and three of them eventually showed white wing patches when they preened.  The third was very similar to the other three but never showed a white patch.  It didn't look much like a Surf Scoter either.   Conclusion is three White-winged and one unknown Scoter.  There were also five Snow Geese on the lake  Not a common occurrence here.

 

No ice on the water yet.  Scant snow cover on the Sangre De Cristos.  Winter is off to a slow start here.
