I lost the name of the person who replied about the drop in scoter numbers
being possibly due to the change in weather. Penn Cove, our biggest draw for
scoters, only experiences a drop in numbers in late January into February
when the birds go looking for herring spawn. I checked the cove almost
weekly this fall and the birds just never appeared in large numbers.
Hopefully they are somewhere else.
