rriHE Scaup builds among the brushwood or other 

 *- vegetation that is found in swampy grounds, or 

 by lakes, or in stony places near these. Very little 

 nest is formed, the materials, such as they are, being 

 dry grasses, stalks, and leaves, but the eggs are well 

 covered with down. They are, it is said, from five 

 or six to eight or ten in number, of a dull yellowish- 

 brown colour. 



The bird begins to lay in May.
