A friend just called me and said that there were 3 Lesser Scaup on a =
pond off of Xenia (close to Glenwood Ave.) in Golden Valley, Hennipin =
County. I went to check, and surely enough, all 3 were present: one male =
and two females. Although they wouldn't give good views of themselves, =
(they were sleeping), I believe they were indeed Lesser's becuase of the =
head shape when sleeping, the body shape, and the fact (according to =
Sibley's) that Lesser's outnumber Greater's on ponds. I will check =
tommarrow when they are more active. Also, the Red-breasted's I had =
previously posted about were still present at the other pond. Good =
birding~
