1. Lesser scaup

   The lesser scaup (Aythya affinis) is a small North American diving duck that migrates south as far as Central America in winter. It is colloquially known as the little bluebill or broadbill because of its distinctive blue bill. The origin of the name scaup may stem from the bird's preference for feeding on scalp—the Scottish word for clams, oysters, and mussels; however, some credit it to the female's discordant scaup call as the name's source. It is apparently a very close relative of the Holarctic greater scaup or "bluebill" (A. marila), with which it forms a superspecies. The scientific name is derived from Ancient Greek aithuia an unidentified seabird mentioned by authors including Hesychius and Aristotle, and Latin, affinis "related to", from its resemblance to the greater scaup.

1. lesser scaup

   The lesser scaup is a small North American diving duck species that belongs to the genus Aythya. The male of the species has a black head and neck, grey flanks and back, and a blue bill. The female has a brown body and head. The name “scaup” is thought to come from the bird's preferred habitat, which is generally near the shallow waters of lakes, ponds, and sheltered coastal areas, often referred to as "scaup." These birds migrate southwards to warmer regions during winters and return north for breeding in the summer. They primarily feed on mollusks, aquatic plants, and insects.
