    Female scaup

    Just a few left of the 2-hours-at-Lake-Merritt collection. I spent quite a bit of those two hours watching this female scaup, just 5-10 feet off shore. Frustratingly close, since somehow the wetness and light colluded so that my shots never got the sharpness I was looking for. I did get to...

    Female Scaup - Either affinis or marila - Even she's not sure

    Aythya affinis or marila. There's some debate about her species ID, but not about the fact that she's female. That much we are sure of. Photographed on a small pond near us, she came down during a strong wind and stayed the day with us.

    Bath Time

    I found this Greater Scaup bathing by the boat launch at Jones. He was very photogenic and didnt mind my presence in the least. I make the call greater due to the whiter side, more rounded head, more white on upperwings, greenish tinge to head (though not always reliable), and a handful of other...
