Greater Scaup (female) (Aythy marila)

Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline.

Greater Scaups are very plentiful here, and seem to overwinter the longest of all the seasonal migrants. So quite common in the winter, often in rafts of 2-3 dozen in places, even as spring gets started and only the local birds remain.
