One of the most numerous and widespread diving ducks in North America, especially on inland waters. Can be very active when feeding, diving and surfacing repeatedly. In winter often seen on lakes and bays in dense flocks, numbering hundreds or even thousands, and often with no other species of ducks associated with them. Lesser Scaup and Greater Scaup sometimes occur in the same places, but they tend to keep to themselves rather than mixing freely.
