IKLland Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 It’s a Scaup, look at that bill! I’m not sure if it’s greater or lesser, but probably lesser. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I can see that. There were at least handful of Lesser Scaups on the lake. It was in the background on the far side of the lake. I guess the angle of the light and the exposure made it look solid black -- especially next to that coot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Certainly an Aythya of some sort, I agree it’s likely Lesser Scaup but not really sure 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
