Here's a shot of a single Scaup. Never could figure out the difference between the Greater and the Lesser. Suffice it's a Scaup!

Wee got our first snow fall of the year! Hope it doesn't get carried away!

Adele, more snow forecast for tonight. -1 at the moment and SW Sask is a great place for the minus 27's

Richard writes: That's a Lesser Scaup. The head is higher while on the Greater it's more round. Great picture.

Lois, I don't know, it's probably me, but anything below 0 is cold! It could be the cold damp of the west coast or the dry sub sub 0 of the prairies. Once it's cold it's cold. And we all seem to adapt!

Richard, thanks for the info. I have always had a problem with the ID. I'll will remember you hint!

Anything below 60 F is cold.

Linda, yeah, your right! I don't seem to handle it as easily as I did when I was younger!
