I ran into Emy Holdridge and Jo Solem this afternoon at Triadelphia
Reservoir, where Emy refound one of the Black Scoters about 3 PM to the
north of Greenbridge access road close to the Howard County side of the
reservoir.

Initially found three Gadwall in the cove by the dam but the majority of
ducks were north of the Greenbridge access road.  Found four scoter
candidates but they mostly kept their heads tucked which complicated getting
an id.  Eventually, they ended their naps and was able to identify them as
female/imm Black Scoters.  There were several other rafts of ducks:  21
Bufflehead, 20 scaup sp, 3 Ruddy Ducks, and 10 Mallards.  As I was leaving,
a Common Loon called and an Osprey dove into the water nearby.  Nice way to
end the afternoon.
