Greater Scaup

Aythya marila

Notes:

I never see scaup out of the water, and this was a first for me. We just had a blizzard "northeaster" and I suspect this duck was exhausted by the storm and got on dry land to rest. I know it can still fly because I accidentally flushed it when I was walking down the beach.
