I believe that there are 7 species present in the
images. I think the teal is a female Green-winged and
the 2 small darkish birds are Ring-necked Ducks.
My opinion on the other questionable bird however is
that it is a male Lesser Scaup. There appears to be
too much contrast between the secondaries and inner
primaries for Greater in my opinion. Also, Lesser
Scaup lose the peaked rear crown shape in flight.
I have sent Gary Ritchison some comparison photos of
scaup with comments for the KOS website and will post
an announcement when he's had a chance to put it
together.
Nice photos Rick.
