Identified the bird as a Greater Scaup by the very large, almost spatulate bill, very wide bill nail, large size compared to a Mallard (the bird wasn't much smaller than the Mallard), rounded head (not peaked like a Lesser Scaup), and white wing stripe extending on to the primaries (seen when the bird preened). | The original documentation form event lasted from 10:05:00/10:22:00.

Side by side comparison with lesser scaup was thankfully easy. The male's rounded head contrasted clearly with the more pointed heads of the lesser scaup. Also, the dark green head of male was visible. The male birds sides were whiter than male lesser scaup's sides and the difference in size was noticeable. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:45:00/16:15:00.
