Species Account:
Got directions from Idaho RBA to the Tufted Duck
Accepted by Idaho bird committee. Directions from RBA. Had distant scope views, tuft not readily visible, but discernible after watching for a time. Associating with Lesser Scaup, easily stood out from the scaup because of the black back contrasting with white sides. Scaup were noticeably gray, and directly comparison was possible.
