Hello all,
I visited the Island Park Dam around noon yesterday and, eventually, found the bird. It had moved way out on the water away from the dam. I set up my scope at the gravel boat launch adjacent to dam and scanned northward The scoter was alone and diving approx 150 yards out.

“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interest skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.” —Theodore Roosevelt
