Bad weather = good birds

I decided to make a quick stop over at Winsor Dam this morning to see if the couple of days of cloudy, rainy weather put down any birds. Although a little early for waterfowl migration I was hopeful anyway. I immediately spotted a tight raft of birds well out in the open water. After setting my scope on them a group of 19 White winged Scoters appeared. Nice to see these guys again this season. I tried another stop in the evening but no birds were present then.
