Scott,
can you explain the "early" scaup comment? In your book you say they are
present all winter. I've been seeing them for about two weeks now at Fry
Cove, but didn't consider it remarkable.

Also noticed, while thumbing through the book, your comment that "a few
western sandpipers winter in SPS." There has been a flock of over a hundred
hanging out in the Mud Bay vicinity, though I only say 20 there this
morning. Again, I don't know if this is particularly noteworthy. Thanks...
