 I had originally planned on bird watching in cemeteries on this Saturday before Halloween. However, some surf scoters had been reported at Union Reservoir so we went chasing them. We saw some great birds, but no scoters. And I did take my group to a cemetery at Ryssby Church on the way back to the store.
