Observation details
Single big bulky scaup. Green sheen to head. Low rounded crown. Originally had this bird listed as Greater/Lesser. Thought it was a greater but it was a little too far away to know for sure. It slowly drifted a couple hundred yards closer and started to flap wings. I could see the long white stripe running almost the length of wings, so I changed call to Greater Scaup. Later watched it fly around lake (making several close passes) and had excellent long looks at the extensive white stripe on the wings, which erased any doubt as to ID of this species.
