Title: Lesser or Greater Scaup
Post by: takkatakka on May 12, 2014, 07:25:12 PM

Saw this Scaup at Presqu'ile Provincial Park at a distance seen from the Marsh boardwalk.  Unfortunately, the picture is not very good.

We think it is a Lesser Scaup, but are not sure.

Thanks

Based on the head shape and what looks like a very small bill nail, I would say you are correct with Lesser.
