As part of Kim Eckert's group this past Sunday, March 26, I spotted (and Kim confirmed I was not hallucinating) a Lesser Scaup drake with a bright red bill along Prairie Island in Winona Cty. Every other feature was typical for Lesser Scaup. The bill was bright red/orange-red, with a yellow tip or stripe near the tip. Only a couple of other group members got to our scopes to see the bird before it tucked up. Truly an odd duck.
