This Surf Scoter has been hanging around one of our favorite haunts, Rock Cut State Park, and we had the opportunity to digiscope it for #242 on our Photo Lifelist.
Digiscoped with our Swarovski 80HD STS Spotting Scope and Canon 50D w/ 50mm lens

Great shot of the SS! I read in Dan Williams, compiled Rock Cut Bird List that the Scoters are rare to see at RC . . . only 1 – 5 reported over a number of years time. It was a life bird for John, Nila and I. Hope you don’t mind; I slid your photo of the SS into our photo file, since it was the same bird we saw even if it wasn’t the photo I took of it . . . which as you saw, you had to squint and use your imagination to see it in my shot of it. Good luck with the new camera and with your birding.
