Greater Scaup?

I saw this pair in the Columbia River near Astoria....I am pretty sure these are Greater Scaups.....I read that they are not very commonly seen any more. They were really active near the shoreline of the river.
Now I am home, my granddaughter is staying with me for the night. Grandpa took one of the grandsons to the beach; they are fishing at a lake tonight. They sent me a pretty sunset photo just a little while ago.....this is nice for both of us and two of the grandkids. :-)
