  Subject: [va-bird] Scaup (Greater?) at Kingstowne

  I've posted three shots of a female Scaup that I shot about 3:40pm this 
  afternoon at the lake next to Kingstowne Shopping Center (off South Van 
  Dorn Street).

  http://www.pbase.com/bb_etc/kingstowne (the first three)

  Dare I hope that this is a Greater Scaup? After consulting Sibley, 
  Kauffman, Audubon's, Thayer, I still am not certain.

  Note: there were hundreds of birds on the lake this afternoon. Many, many 
  Canadas, Ring-bills and friendly Sparrows (on which I am still working), 
  plus I'd estimate at least 50 Ring-necked Ducks.
