Resumo(s)
In this study, we report the frst occurrence of the White-winged Scoter Melanitta deglandi for the Azores archipelago and for Portugal. This report is based on a single individual observed in Angra do Heroísmo Bay on 08 December 2020. The record has been approved by the Portuguese Rarities Committee and described as a frst winter female. The occurrence of Nearctic birds in the Azores is important due to the geographic location of the archipelago and its relevance as a stepping stone for migratory species.
