More for the bird lovers

On the way back from taking the bald eagle pics, we drove past a little pond that had a lot of ducks on the open water. I managed to get a quick photo...


...before they flew away.


Checking with my Kaufman bird book (thanks J&A!), I found the ducks to be Lesser Scaup. Yeah, weird name, huh? They don't nest around here. They were on their way to western Canada.
