White-winged Scoter in Harney County by Rick Vetter

While fighting with each other for several minutes over a freshly caught common carp, these two white-winged scoters (a rare species in Harney county) eventually lost it to an American white pelican. Probably the first time these scoters fed on carp. At The Narrows, Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
