Hi Folks!
 
Just a word of caution: Hybrid. There are documented Tufted Duck X Lesser  
Scaup. Is the back a solid black without vermiculations? Is the dark tip of the  
bill wider than deep? Is the head sheen always purple and never green? Is 
there  a distinct white line at the rear edge of the dark bill tip? A GOOD SERIES 
OF  PHOTOS WILL BE NEEDED.
 
Good Birding!
 
Jim
