I’ll believe them and keep the faith too (especially since all those house finches and cardinals singing in my yard are trying to give me the same message)

I only try if I have a close, head-on look, and then only for males Male Greater Scaup have a large triangular black tip to their bill which on male Lesser Scaup is much smaller and less pronounced. I’ve never had much luck using head shape to say anything definitive, although all the field guides mention it.
