White-winged Scoter - White Rock There is always a raft of Scoters in the White Rock area during winter. They are not always so cooperative with the photo opportunities though. The birds all dive for bay clams embedded in the sand and mud here. They find the shells that they want and pop to the surface like corks to swallow the shellfish whole. The shell and crustacean inside are digested whole. They can be found on both coasts as far south as California and Texas.
