Hi All,
Yesterday I spent a little time at Point Lookout. I wanted to
photograph some waterfowl, but there were not very many around, it was
windy and they weren't close to shore. I took some photos anyway just
to test exposure, etc. I took some of a distant male Surf Scoter. When
I looked at them I noticed that in one photo the scoter appeared to have
a band on the right leg. On closer inspection of that photo and others
of the same scoter, I saw what appears to be an antenna. Does any one
know of a study of Surf Scoters that is using a tracking device? I
don't know what else this could be.
Thanks,
Patty Craig
