From Dan Rottino: 3/3/13-Groton, Beach Pond Park near Eastern Pt--9:30am; 1 PURPLE SANDPIPER feeding on a barnacle covered rock close to the main building. 3/3/13-Waterford, Harkness SP--10am; 5 BLACK SCOTER, 2 WHITE-WINGED SCOTER, 7 SURF SCOTER, 1 NORTHERN GANNET, 13 COMMON EIDER. All 3 Scoter species and eiders first found by Sara and Tina. I arrived later and found different numbers of each. Black scoters and white-winged scoters have been a little scarcer lately. They were straight out and to the right of the flags. There are probably more out a little further. They've gotta be somewhere. Dan Rottino Sent from my iPhone.
