A Month of Birds - Greater Scaup

I was surprised to find this duck like bird in a small pond near Calgary because research says that it prefers large bodies of water and is generally scarce inland, except in the Great Lakes region.
This fellow may be lost!

Great capture. Hopefully he just likes to be special :)

Doesn't its golden eye pop out. Nicely captured.

He is a lovely velvety colour
