Text Appearing Before Image:
LESSER SCAUP (Aythya affinis) The lesser scaup is a large duck with a glossy, dull purple head, a bluish bill, and a dark breast. Its finely-flecked flanks appear white at a distance. The female is generally brown with a white mask. Scaups are expert divers with large and powerful feet. They generally breed on the borders of freshwater marshes or ponds, but are most often observed in the open water of lakes and large ponds in Yellowstone and Grand Teton. The ring- necked duck, which also occurs in both parks, resembles the lesser scaup, but has a dark back and a white ring on the bill. The lesser scaup, or "bluebill," is a common summer and occasional winter resident in both Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
Text Appearing After Image:
Barrow's Coldeneye Harry Engels HARLEQUIN DUCK (Histhonicus histrionicus) This handsome duck is a rare breeding resident of remote stretches of the Yellowstone and Snake Rivers and their tributaries. (Harlequins are often observed on the LeHardy Rapids of the Yellowstone River in spring and early summer). Like its namesake, the masked character of comedy and pantomime, the male harlequin is richly colored with a gaudy pat- terned plumage of blues, russets, blacks, and whites. The female is dusky- colored with three round spots on either side of the head. Harlequins are especially attracted to rough water. They will repeatedly fly to the beginning of a series of rapids and float to their terminus, or they will use both their wings and feet to move upstream against the swift-moving current. Harlequins feed on water insects and their larvae, small fishes and tadpoles, and acquatic plants. 22
