I’m thinking Lesser for the Scaup, bill looks smaller and the black nail on the tip looks thin. Great video!

Thanks for your input on the Lesser Scaup! Glad you enjoyed it!

Just discovered your channel great video. I wonder what camera and lens you use.

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

Thanks for watching! I use a Nikon P950.

Are the Brants there all year? I go to SD a few times a year and go birding down there, and I’ve never seen one. Hope to.

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

They are here in the winter. I haven't seen them many places outside of Mission Bay, but there were quite a few when I went, so if you do come down between Oct-March Mission Bay is probably the best place to see them.

I scoped 15 of them off La Jolla bird rock back on April 1, 2019. Now we have one in Ohio!

@@anti0918 we sure do. I saw it a couple days ago.

The redhead ducks are only here in winter? I really want to see one

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

Yes I think they are only here in the winter. Thanks for watching!

What are the birds which are flocking on West Ski Island?

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

Thanks for watching! I'm not sure as I haven't been birding down there recently.
