Dear Andy:

While I can't provide any reliable greater scaup areas away from the coast,
I have seen them in recent years--a time or two--at Black Hills Reservoir. I
think it was in Jan. or Feb., but if you want me to dig up the dates let me
know. Other good places to look would be along the Potomac, from around
National Airport and its "waterfowl refuge" south to Bellehaven picnic area
(though no guarantees). Sandy Point is probably also a good possibility.
Claudia Wilds, in her book, mentioned Chesapeake Beach as a good spot on the
western shore. 

Good luck in your quest. Seen any more Red-headed Woodpeckers lately?

All the best, Howard Youth hmyouth@erols.com
