These are great! Nice Scaup photo you got there. The Starling looks like he is praying before he eats his meal. LOL! 🙂

There is a Lesser Scaup & Greater Scaup. I don’t know which one you photographed. The lesser is 16.5” & the greater is 18”. Hard to tell unless they are spotted together. 😎

I would guess the Lesser, but I really have no clue 😀

Thank you, Lisa – I was going to ask what species that duck is! And also say that he is beautiful! I’ve never seen a scaup before!

The first one has been buried in my archives for a few years. It needed to be brought to life 😀
