Re: Scaup ID question



Steve, there is a fairly large popuplation of Greater Scaup ducks that show 
no white around the bill. They are not uncommon in Alaska - my first 
experience with one was in Fairbanks, and I tried to make it into a Tufted - 
and I understand they also occur inBritain and Scandinavia. However these 
birds all show the more rounded crown and forehead of the Greater Scaup.
