Although Paul's point is likely correct in the instance of a pair=2C single=
scoters are occasional summer residents on inland lakes. I believe Bernard=
Forysthe had one a few summers ago on Black River(?) Lake=2C Kings. White-=
winged Scoters nest further S. than the other species & could conceivably n=
est on the small lakes in the mountains of Eastern Cape Breton. I've noted =
flocks on Aspy Bay throughout the summer. (Solely a thought of mine since =
Ian does not mention this possibility in his summary of NS birds & states t=
hat the three scoter species are in decline).

This seems unusual. Surf Scoters do breed on inland lakes but much farther =
