Dull lighting conditions but this time of year I'll take what I can get!

Lesser Scaup at Bosque del Apache NWR, Socorro County, New Mexico.
Our waterfowl that visit locally are always passing through, stopping briefly at water treatment ponds. Today was unusual in that we had several species present at once -- the female Lesser Scaup, male Blue-winged Teal, and our more common Ring-necked Ducks (this one a male).
