What Bird Is That Forum

Today in Riley county ks not sure if these are identifiable

M R Ducks.

Don't think these are identifiable, but I'm getting Lesser Scaup vibes from most of them.

There are also some Greater plus a Redhead and a Merganser.

Definitely mostly lesser but some looked really good for greater to me but I’m still not great with that identification

How about these two

Is this identifiable

Here’s some more that I think look good for greater Scaup

Here

I was hoping others might chime in on this thread.
I think the last photo is a Lesser or a /, the previous two look good for Greater (at least to me, although the more experience I get the less confidence with some birds - still convinced they hybridize).

The female/immature Scaups you posted look good for Greater. A few males and a female in the first photos posted, last photo is a Lesser to me.

Thanks here’s some more from today

Outer birds are both Greater, middle bird is tough. Nail looks solid for Greater, though on molting birds I don’t entirely trust it, but I can’t judge head shape and eye placement in that photo

Here’s different angle

Head shape looks good superficially, though I’d still want to watch the bird move around in the field. Don’t know how it’s been in the plains, but we’ve had huge influx of GRSC in Tennessee the past week

Yeah I’ve been seeing several that look good recently

More pics

With those views, I’m confident with Greater now
