The more and more I think about it they had to be a hybrid of some kind. I've looked at almost every webiste I could find with different types of waterfowl and I can't find anything that looks like them. There's a few that look close but nothing exactely like those weird damn things. I'm kicking myself for not shooting one now. I've been out to the same spot 4 times after that and I haven't seen them again. I did see three surf scooters on Big Stone lake here about a week and a half ago and I talked to a guy down in Browns Valley how said he shot a Harlequin here a couple years ago on Lake Traverse. You just never know what my come through. It makes the hunt just that much more interesting.
