A female great scaup in the middle of a river, facing right.. She is grey on the sides and brown on her feathers and head. She has a distinctive grey bill with a black tip and a tiny yellow eye.

Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social is filling in for Alan H @alan678.bsky.social while he's sick. Alan, hope you feel better very soon! Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #Ducks so I have a #Canvasback, #GreaterScaup female, #GreaterScaup male and #Redhead male. #westernPA #birds #wildlife #EastCoastKin #nikon
I was filming what I thought were 4 Common Goldeneyes. Turns out there were 2 Goldeneyes (a male [possible hybrid]& a female), a female Bufflehead, and a female Greater Scaup.
At Spanish Banks Beach, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

My ink and watercolour drawing of a greater scaup
It’s the duck of democracy.
Be like this duck (it’s a greater scaup btw) and flap on over to your nearest polling station

Thousands of Scaup gathering on the Szczecin Lagoon! 🦆❄️ This key site is where they rest, feed, and pair up before their spring migration north 🌍💚. A crucial spot for the European population!

In a flock of 70+ Greater Scaup, one lifts itself out of the water and proclaims divine rights but, actually, most of the other scaup don't like it.
"LONG LIVE THE KING!" No wait! It's just a duck who thinks it's king. #greaterscaup #duck #bird #birdphotography #tivertonri
Greater Scaup
A tricky one for me... it could be Lesser Scaup but with the head shape I'm going with Greater.
Not a rare bird but not one that I see very often. This one was amongst the 100s of Redheads and the single Canvasback.

A drake Scaup at Farmoor Reservoir. This is a diving duck, similar to a male Tufted Duck except that the Tufted Duck has a black back, and in the Scaup the back is grey. It's a relatively scarce winter visitor to the UK, more often found on inshore waters around the coast than on inland water bodies.

Is this a #GreaterScaup or #LesserScaup? Am I missing the obvious characteristics? Taken on the north shore of Long Island, NY in July. #birdID #birding #birdsky
