Observation details
Donna Reis and I came over from BH this morning to see if the Greater and Lesser Scaup were still here. This appears to be the only open water locally so an excellent location for our winter ducks. The two male Lesser Scaup are loafing with two female Greater Scaup. We note the thinner head shape of the Lesser Scaup compared to the wider Greater Scaup. The smaller straighter bill of the male LESC compared to the wider and longer female Greater Scaup bill. The taller peaked head of the Lesser Scaup males is seen well in the pictures. Peaked crown, purplish head,, small blue bill compared to greater scaup female right next to them.
