Détails de l'observation
Photos and videos. This could be the individual found and photographed by Len Hunter at Farmer's Pond on 12 April 2024, as posted on Facebook. Today's bird was also a male, in the company of a female which always kept its head tucked and evaded identification (particularly because I had no scope with me). The male was larger than the adjacent Lesser Scaup and had a more robust bill, wider, thicker, more spatulate. The head was evenly rounded, particularly in the back; it lacked the peak often shown by Lesser Scaup. It never dove, but it did tuck it's head for quite a while. The nail appeared to span at least half the width of the tip of the bill, as opposed to the narrow nail shown on a Lesser Scaup.
