Dabbling ducks are so familiar, but there is also a group of common ducks that actively dive on freshwater for food. One or other is likely to be encountered on still or moving freshwater or even at sea so let this workshop help you to decide which diving duck you are seeing.

Really good refresher video after attending the recent BTO Course on dabbling ducks. The duration of these at 6-7 minutes is perfect and they are very well narrated.

I love these videos. Yeah, the two scaup species are regular here in California and at certain places, they occur together. Red and Canvasback resemble extremes of the Pochard and we get a few Tufted Ducks here and there in winter but they always occur with Lesser Scaup rather than the similar Ring-Necked Duck. You mentioned hybrids, Tufted Duck X Scaup hybrids do occur here. Presumably, they involve Lesser Scaup.
