Tuesday, November 11 A first winter male BLACK SCOTER was seen this morning at Wilde Lake in Columbia.Floating in the center of the lake. Last seen around noon. Also, at Centennial Park a single ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER was seen around 10:30 AM. Enter via the South entrance. Turn left up the hill to the picnic pavilions and park. Walk the path that parallels Rt 108 until it makes a sharp turn right at a picnic bench dedicated to the Howard County Woodworkers Guild. Continue to the right another 30 yards to the spot where the warbler was seen. Other goodies around today, all three Columbia lakes had large numbers of BUFFLEHEADS and RUDDY DUCKS. Also, Centennial had a flock of HOODED MERGANSERS. Wilde Lake had a couple CANVASBACKS. Lake Elkhorn had three female GADWALLS. Good Birding, Darius.
