Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis)

It is like a Tufted Duck but he does not have the hairdo.

  2. Another grand duck Bob. He has more of a hairdo than I do.

  3. I'm impressed by its simple beauty!

    Bob, do you have any tips on distinguishing the Lesser from Greater Scaup?

  4. Hello Bob,
    Its really nice to have you back into the blogosphere!
    I had a look at your previous posts, what lovely pictures you have taken!
    This duck is a beauty and I love how he raises his head feathers making him seem quite relaxed!
    Take care, I hope you are happy in your new house!

  6. Bob, great shots! I like the strong lines and colours. We get them here too, but there's none around yet. Guess they are enjoying the great weather we've been having!

  9. I would love to put the people who name birds in the naughty corner. No imagination, and they are frequently WRONG. There is nothing lesser about this bird's beauty.
    Thanks Bob - I love it.
