1st year male White-winged Scoter in Tallahassee the last few days on Lake Henrietta, which can be reached taking Springhill Rd south from Orange Avenue. Scoter is often found amongst Mallard/Lesser Scaup raft. WWSC is a rare inland visitor to Florida although they are regular in small numbers off the coast every winter. I have posted pictures of the scoter on my blog. Western Tanager (male) still present in my front yard as well. Pine Siskin yesterday also.
