Media notes
Aythya marila (Greater Scaup) with Mallards, Center St. Wetlands, Beaverton, OR, 31 Dec 2018.
Observation details
Very surprising to see a Greater Scaup on this tiny little inland pond! Was sitting and preening on shore with sleeping Mallards the whole time we were there. Head shape indicated Greater the entire time we watched it, as shown in photos. I video'd it for a few minutes trying to record the bill nail, and the head shape was consistently Greater during the entire time. One photo shows the bill nail well, with extent of black indicating Greater.
