Observation details
Photos; male scaup, exiting eclipse plumage, mixed with coots at west end of lake. I waffled on this scaup for a while, but am leaning heavily toward Greater. Not seen diving, so head shape should be relatively unaffected. Slightly larger than coots, which has been cited as a mark for Greater. Head shape seems to favor Greater; fairly wide black bill nail. White wingstripe seems arguably extensive (based on a brief look as it stretched one wing while preening).
