Greater Scaup
 

In case you have never seen a pair of Greater Scaup I believe I have a photo of a pair. They were in the canal alongside Hwy 27 just south of the Wetland Walkway Saturday afternoon.

Please let me know if you feel they are not Greater Scaup.

Best,
Tom

They look great er to me.

Ha haaa .. very PUNNY! :)

If you are interested on getting some pics of some blue wing teal let me know. I've been running catfish lines at my duck lease West of Vinton and there are a handful of teal in the same pond every day. Could probably get pretty close to them while they are on the bank or banks edge. Message me if you are interested.

Fly fast and are hard to hit too... at least for me, they humble my @** LOL

lots of ducks in full plumage right now... great time for pics... nice shots.

Never bagged a Greater Scaup but I remember the time when my father and I were duck hunting and a tight group of Lesser Scaup flew over and just passed us. My father fired his long barreled 12 gauge and it started raining ducks. After they finished dropping from the sky seven ducks were floating on the large pond. If I wouldn't have seen it I wouldn't have believed it. :)
