    Determined to get a better shot of the Black Scoter in Richmond, I went up
    there early Sunday afternoon, and encountered Alex Navarro who pointed out
    the bird to me and showed me his nice photos of it.? ?
    
    I eventually got some shots of it later in the afternoon (better than my
    previous photo) as well as some photos of beautiful Horned Grebes in
    alternate plumage. No long-tailed duck in evidence.??? The scoter was again
    more easily visible from the western side of the harbor and remained
    moderately far out towards the middle of the harbor.

    Good weather and a black scoter makes for a nice afternoon birding!
