Denis,
Great shots.
The Long Tail is my favorite. Such an shy inquisitive look.

Ah, another scaup. Again, I believe it's a Greater Scaup. The head appears large and rounded, in the second picture you can see a greenish gloss and the the black tip on the bill is quite large which all indicates Greater Scaup. As the side of the bird is not bright white I would see it's a first winter male molting into adult plumage.

These are great Denis.  I too like the picture of the Long Tail.

thanks meghan,and moira.
the longtail is also my favourite with that look!!
thouc: it could be a greater scaup.i,m not that familiar with these ducks.i only went with lesser,because of the gray side,instead of white.
