As an adult, the lesser scaup is able to “play dead” when grasped by a predator, such as a fox. They are found in flocks in fresh and brackish wetlands and open bays.
Chick check-in! Elle and her little one are cozied up in their favorite spot, and we’re happy to report the chick is doing great.
Our bird care team is keeping a close eye on this growing youngster as it gets stronger every day. It hasn’t fledged (left the nest) yet, so for now it’s all snuggles with Momma Elle.
