Lesser Scaup

[Jim Crosswell]

This was taken this morning at the Detroit river, between Windsor and Detroit. I believe this is a Scaup. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Another good duck shot Jim. I like the low angle and the HA. Nice detailed image. Well done

Jim you are having a good time with these Ducks, liked it more on your last post with a bit more water at the bottom ,that's my take of course, tiny nit on this otherwise very nice shot, agree with your ID.

Cheers Keith.

Nice shot of a female, Jim. I still have problem with the ID of the Greater and Lesser.

[Mike Poole]

Great lighting on the is one, and a nice crop for my taste

Beautiful water and the Scaup is sharp as a tack.
Your usual excellent IQ....

Jim:

Good comments from above. Nicely exposed, sharp.

Def. a scaup, and I am leaning towards a greater, based on bill size and shape of head. However, I wouldn't put any money down on that!

Cheers

Randy

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. Randy it could be a Greater Scaup when I entered the title I meant to just type in Scaup and see if I received any ID input.
