Got a 94, Called ring-necks scaup on a head on view and red heads cans on a head on view, correct second guess for both.

I mixed up scaups & ringnecks too.  Never can tell those two apart until they are in hand.

100 percent first try 8)

I've been studying waterfowl books since I could read, my number one choice of literature haha.


For scaup and ringers look at the feathers on the back.  The ringers will be solid black or close to and appear very dark when in flight.  Scaup are white feathers with gray "accenting" throughout and appear lighter to white when in flight.  The white on the bills stands out as another feature on the ringers that the scaup doesnt have, although much less apparent in flight.

No visible white on the bills in the pic I saw.  Why bother worrying in the field on these two, taste about the same and if I shot three scaup I'd just quit shooting at them....   :chuckle:

Let's see them post a picture of hen pintails coming straight in and see who could identify that.

Me, and if you can't positively indentify a duck on wing.. you need to do some homework. Thts what puts people in bad spots and over their limits of certain speicies
