Lesser Scaup at College Lake

The news about this bird broke late on Thursday afternoon.  That was fairly convenient as the following day was Good Friday and a lot of people managed to get over to College Lake to see this Bucks first!

The bird had been at the site for a couple of news but was initially reported as a hybrid.  On closer examination it looked to be a genuine Lesser Scaup making it my 260th county tick!.

The drake Lesser Scaup was very interested in this female Tufted Duck and was seen copulating.
