Greater Scaup (Aythya marila), Prescott, Yavapai County

This Greater Scaup was found and photographed by Walt Anderson on 29 November 2017

While a regular and commonly observed winter resident on parts of the Colorado River in Arizona, this species is rare statewide away from the Colorado River.

Rounded crown, larger, wider bill than a Lesser Scaup.
