Title: Scaups at Col. Sam Smith
Post by: Irene on March 10, 2015, 09:06:33 PM

Today was a great day for birding! Thanks to a great bunch of people I had lost of fun and learned quite a bit - but I still have trouble with Greater and Lesser Scaups so I have just named my photos "Scaup" LOL

Nice pictures, they are both Greater Scaup with rounded heads, which by far is the most common during the winter.
