While I was at Crescent Lake Park watching the white pelicans I couldn’t ignore the other ducks in the lake. There were a lot of lesser scaup on the lake. They are also snow birds and only spend the winter here.

This guy had a snack in his beak. I don’t know if they swallow these clams shells whole? The sun really brings out the purple in the male scaup’s head.

This cormorant kept diving for fish but he kept coming up with sticks.

Two great egrets were near the bank. One still had his green breeding feathers around his beak.

A muscovy duck showing off for me.

I thought this osprey had a fish in his talons but it looks like a some vegetation.
