The Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) is a small North American diving duck. The adult males have a black iridescent head, a black breast and a whitish-grey back and wings. Adult females are dark brown with a white belly and a distinctive white band at the base of the bill. The lesser scaup breeds near inland lakes and marsh ponds from Alaska through western Canada and western Montana. They nest on the ground near water in a sheltered location among thick vegetation such as sedges and bulrushes. The nest consists of a scraped shallow depression lined with plants and down feathers. In the winter they migrate south via the Central and Mississippi Flyways to rivers, lakes, coastal lagoons and bays between the USA-Canada border and as far south as northern Columbia as well as Central America, the West Indies and Bermuda. The lesser scaup forages mainly by diving and sifting through the bottom mud. Their diet consists of mollusks, insects, small fishes and aquatic plants like sedges, bulrushes, pondweeds, widgeon-grass, wild celery and wild rice. This female lesser scaup was photographed while swimming at Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
