Black Scoter at Louisville Lakes SRA-11/23/2014

On November 23rd, 2014, my dad, brother, and I decided to chase the female-type Black Scoter at Louisville Lakes State Recreation Area in Cass County, Nebraska.  It was found two day prior by Clem Klaphake.  This would be our lifer and the last Scoter species for Nebraska for all three of us.
We arrived at Louisville Lakes at 8:13 AM.  We quickly drove to Lake #2, where it had been seen.  It was there.  We then drove around the other lake in the recreation area to see if it moved to one of them.  It wasn't at any of those lakes either.  We checked Lake #2, one last time just to make sure we didn't miss it.  I walked over to the swimming beach because we didn't check there the first time.  I quickly found the Black Scoter there.

Black Scoter-Louisville Lakes SRA, Cass County, NE-11/23/14.

We watched it swim around the swimming beach for 30 minutes.  During this time, I was able to see it fly around briefly.  This allowed me to see its dark belly, confirming it as an adult female.
We then headed home after we got satisfactory looks at it.
