Observation details
All by itself, photos. Blue bill, yellow eye, black head. Photos through binocs - the bird was actually pretty close so I got good views for an extended period but didn't have scaup in mind immediately so I didn't think to check head shape. I am leaning towards lesser on this due to what appears to be a peaked back of head in all of the photos I got, plus habitat association - it was in a marsh right near the boat launch, feeding with some mallards and CAGOs.
