Scaups

Posted on by

A friend who lives along Lake Tamarack sent me a email a few days ago to let me know that scaups were flying around and floating on the lake.  And, that he called them “oreo ducks”.  I had no idea what a scaup was, but I headed for the lake and, sure enough, there was a large group of interesting looking ducks floating out in the lake.  “Oreo ducks” does seem like a perfect name for scaups.

They were a good ways from the dam, so these were the best photos I could get.  Click here to link to info about these diving ducks.

Villa #121 in Bent Tree just hit the market with an asking price of $124,900.  The mountain views are beautiful.

One of the listing photos struck me as a perfect example of one of the great aspects of the Bent Tree community.  It’s a shot of two people traveling on the road over the dam…one person is on horseback, the other is in a golf cart. Where else but Bent Tree?

There were a lot of bluebirds hanging out at the boat ramp area late yesterday afternoon.  The photos above and below show two of them that stayed still long enough for me to snap pictures.
