I took these this past Saturday and although they were out of range of my lens (600mm with 1.4TC-now 840mm) the birds can still be ID-ed. There were just a few of the Bonaparte' Gulls and I think the other far bird is a 1st spring White-winged Scoter. Good ID difference between the yellowlegs although the greater being soft in the picture. Great day for the Horned Grebes.

That is indeed a WW scoter; note the bill is long and sloping, and the white wing patch is hardly visible, but still open for viewing. Nice find, Phil!
