Meet the Lesser Scaup — a winter regular in the Blue Water Area known to hunters as the little bluebill. Learn how to tell it apart from its cousin, the Greater Scaup, and why it loves our local waters.

Rain subsequently let up and I scoped the pond for ducks. No egrets, no grebes, no Great Blue Herons... At the far side an intermittent patch of white resolved into the pale flanks of a #LesserScaup flashing as it bobbed to the surface, paused for breath, and leapt into another dive. A hint of greenish iridescence tempted me to make it into a Greater (usually on bigger waters like the Columbia) but nothing was otherwise indicative. But a cheerful pond fellow for sure!

Ducks floating along the South Platte River in Denver Metro on a lazy Sunday afternoon. 1) Female Lesser Scaup. 2) Male Common Goldeneye Duck 3) Male Bufflehead Duck 4) Male Hooded Merganser Duck and less colorful female with beige hood.
What a thrill to sight the hooded merganser for the first time. Their numbers are increasing in Colorado.
