Re: [Maine-birds] scaup lesser vs greater

Following this, Sarah -- we have a raft of continuing Scaups in our river, and even though I came down on Greater because of head and bill shape, I'm still not sure. Happy to have any guidance.

Hi,

Finally got a chance to stop and look at the little group of Ring-necked ducks in Searsmont this evening and discovered there is a single male Scaup in with them.  Is there a good way to differentiate lesser from Greaters? 

Pics attached, bit of a distance unfortunately.  If they are still there next week will drag out the big lens.
