Title: greater scaup?
Post by: denis on February 07, 2010, 09:08:15 PM

here i have a pair of lesser scaup,but the one on the left i,m unsure of. i,m thinking male greater scaup. can someone confirm? the rounded head makes me think this,but the colours seem wrong.

It looks like a male Lesser in the background, a first year male Greater in the left foreground and a female Greater on the right.
