Lesser Scaup

Lesser Scaup
Though Scaup are not uncommon here, I don't usually see them close enough to really "see" what they look like. I was lucky to have this male swim close enough for me to get a photo yesterday. I had taken a few shots of a Scaup in the same place three days ago. However, I discovered last night that the photo above is of a Lesser Scaup and my previous photos (not yet posted to Flickr) were of a Greater Scaup, so I was happy with that. The duck in this photo has a slight purple iridescence on the back of the head, and an almost-crest. The Greater Scaup has a more rounded head. I have SO much to learn, LOL!
