Observation details
At least one male, and very likely also a female. Mixed in with quite a few male and female Lesser Scaups, which allowed for direct comparison of structure and plumage characteristics. Overall this individual appeared noticeably larger than the Lessers, with a rounded head (lacked the peak at the back that is characteristic of Lesser Scaup). The bill appeared larger and more spatulate in shape, with more extensive black at the tip, covering the nail and some of the bill tip on either side.
