Observation details
This could have been the continuing lesser scaup of many reports the previous few days, but it was very far away and it didn’t give me much to work with, and I later lost it. Constantly dipping its head under water, so hard to assess the peak of the head. In my few bad photos, the shape of the head (to me, anyway) looks more like a greater scaup. Will be curious to see if anyone else reports greater vs lesser scaup on the pond for May 20th who maybe got better looks than me.
