This morning while I was zipping along, I saw a solitary duck in Lake Milo,
in the narrow stretch inside town of Yarmouth limits, between the boat club
and the Lakelawn Motel.
Stopped again to take a look at it this afternoon. Of course, it kept to
the far side of the lake, but it looked like a scaup. Whitish middle with
dark head and dark posterior. My wife was with me and when I showed her
pictures of the two species, she suspected a lesser.
Over twenty years ago, I had an excellent look at a lesser scaup in the same
area: It was close enough to see the purplish sheen on the head.
Didn't remember to bring binoculars, of course.
During the Xmas bird count, Maurice Leblanc and I saw a ring-necked duck at
the northern end of the lake.
