Media notes
In this picture the greater is on the right. Notice the peak towards the back of the head on the left bird (Lesser) and the absence of a peak on the head of the right bird (Greater). Also notice that the bill of the right bird is larger in size and the upper outline of the bill is straighter compared to the bird on the left (more concave outline). Lastly, the birds are seen in the same light and photographed together. The right bird has a green head sheen, while the left bird has a more purplish head sheen.
Observation details
Lesser on the left, Greater on the right. See descriptions with pictures for explanation of differences. Both species of Scaup were observed at the far east end of Lake Searsy as previously reported.
