Similar in appearance to the scaups, but more often found in fresh marshes and wooded ponds. In flight, the dark wings are different from the white-edged wings of scaups.
Faint brown rings on a drake's neck never shows in the field; light bands at the tip and base of the bill are conspicuous.
Fly as small flocks in open formation; often land without circling.
Length: 17 "
Weight: 2 ? lbs
