xpoetmarcr Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Is the first photo of a Lesser Scaup? And what sparrow in the second? Both from SW Idaho today. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstacks Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The male duck in the first picture looks like a Lesser Scaup. Not so sure about the female. The sparrow is a Song Sparrow. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 That first photo is a great comparison for head shape. Lesser on the left, greater on the right. Song sparrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meghann Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I'm going to be the voice of dissent and say I think this isn't a good angle to call the female. Agree on the other two. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on the other two. I'm with you on this, I don't think the female is identifiable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
