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.
