Scaup Sp., female

Shoreline Lake

Glad to entertain arguments for Greater or Lesser. Note Sibley's cautionary advice: "Differences between the species are most apparent when relaxed and largely disappear when birds are active." One characteristic that doesn't vary with activity, the width of the nail on the bill, looks intermediate to me on this bird.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
