It was such a treat to see this White-winged Scoter swimming around on Nauset Marsh. I’ve only seen one a couple of times and not in years. Have you ever seen one? Love that white patch around his eye! So distinct!
One thought on “White-Winged Scoter At Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod.”
Fun fact:
” In winter these birds eat mussels, holding their breath for a minute or more, deep underwater, while they wrestle the shellfish free from rocks. They breed around lakes of the far north, where their diet changes to crustaceans and insects.”
