    Greater/Lesser Scaup? -Kansas City

    I'm relatively new to birding, but have had the pleasure of upping my waterfowl game this last week from the Gulf Coast and up the Missouri River valley. I got some great looks at Lesser Scaups around the Kansas City airport (spent an hour watching a dozen from shore with 16x binocs). A few...

    Greater Scaup or Tufted Duck, Gloucestershire UK

    Hi all. Looking through some old records and found an observation that gave me pause. This grainy photo is a bird I originally identified as female Greater Scaup last year in Late July. I have had a lot of encounters with Scaup over the years, and for me the jizz of this bird was very scauplike...

    Tufted duck or Greater scaup? (Iceland)

    Hi, Is this a tufted duck or greater scaup? Spotted in a lake with many other tufted ducks, but thought this looked slightly different, especially the greenish hue on the head, although I'm not sure if this is just an artifact. Its back also looks slightly greyish. Many thanks.

    This diving duck has increased markedly in the San Francisco Bay region at the expense of the formerly more common Lesser Scaup. Greater Scaup is the only circumpolar member of the Aythyini tribe. This is an adult male showing greenish face (varies with the light), rounded head and triangular...

    Greater Scaups?

    Hello. I found these two ducks yesterday in Central Turkey (Ankara province) in a freshwater lake, and I am having hard time IDing them because of some unusual features they have. These ducks were hanging within an Aythya nyroca flock. What I found unusual about them were (i) they have rather...

    Found this Male Greater Scaup swimming in these very blue reflective waters. The drip of water from the bill was just a bonus.

    Exams are here and I have been studying for them that is why I have not spent to much time in the forum or out on the trail. I went to the beach for a break and got a few images of the ducks around the pier. This is a new addition to my gallery. I will be back soon.
