Lesser Scaups.jpg

Florida

This is a pair of male Lesser Scaups. There were three males and one female on the lake near my house. They are small diving ducks. They dive for plant seeds, crustaceans, insects and snails. They would dive in unison.

Nicely captured. We have these cute ducks winter down here too, and I really enjoy them. Your lighting is great.

It appears that they are well fed, riding low in the water. Very good catch.

Very fine shot Cindy. The eyes are perfect.
Gayle these are known as dos gris in Louisiana.

Lovely composition of these two beautiful birds. The whites are a bit overexposed ...
