The ducks are diving. Species Saturday invites you to meet the lesser scaup. The lesser scaup is a medium-bodied diving duck, meaning they feed by diving under the surface of deep water to find their food. Males have a dark emerald to black head and a mostly gray to white body. Females are mostly brown on their body and have a dark brown head with a white patch at the base of the bill. This short video shows two male lesser scaup diving under water at our USGS Eastern Ecological Science Center.

NEW ZEALAND SCAUP (Aythya novaeseelandiae)—the only true diving duck native to New Zealand. Jet-black drakes with glowing yellow eyes, chestnut-toned hens, and the attitude of a bird twice their size. Protected since 1934, they rocket across lakes, dive deep for aquatic snacks, and nest in secret—sometimes even in tree hollows.

These 'seabirds' tend to prefer freshwater, whereas the very similar Greater Scaups are more often found in saltwater. Baby Lesser Scaups can dive underwater the day they hatch, but are s

Treatment of these birds involves both checking for injuries and evaluating the waterproofing of their feathers. An examination concluded that, thankfully, this bird hadn't sustained any injuries. He was provided with supportive care, including rehydration fluids, nutritious food, and a bathing pool to enjoy during his short stay at TWC. Once he was re
