My wife and I made a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Leaving work and the kids behind, we had an evening to ourselves to walk along the beach. Strolling hand-in-hand along the shell covered sands, we laughed along with the Laughing Gulls at all the silly Bonaparte’s Gulls frolicking and wave jumping repeatedly. I also spotted some life birds.

Description

Wondering if White-winged Scoter. Off shore at Myrtle Beach. Were several clearly identified Black Scoters, but this looked different with white on eyes and patch on back. Any help appreciated!
