I've really been wanting to go to Lake Pleasant out here for a while. There are reports of a rare white-winged Scoter and black Scoters along with a few other interesting waterfowl.
Me too and it was about time to leave the wetlands, and I looked to my right, and it was right there, and I took two pictures before I left.
Thanks, and will do.
Nice one! This species has been on my list to spot for a while :) Please consider adding this and your other wild spottings to the Southern California Wildlife mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7964...
