The Bird-A-Day Challenge Has Begun

Pacific Loon
Scaup sp. Lesser I think?

Red-throated Loon and Greater Scaup (male).

Red-throated Loon in breeding plumage - doesn't look like this now.
Greater Scaup, male. Difference between lesser and greater. Green head greater, purple head lesser; peak in front greater, peak in back lesser; round head greater, head with a cowlick in the back lesser.

If the second bird is nicvknamed the bluebill, then it's correctly the lesser scaup. ON the other hand, I have dickens of a time distinguishing the two.

Thanks for your replies! 

Answer: 
Day 1: Red-Throated Loon
Day 2: Greater Scaup

It is a Red-Throated Loon but in our state it's called Red-throated Diver

Over here in the UK it's Red-throated Diver. My wife and I are keen birders and living in the south of England we can only get see divers in the winter or on migration. We are counting species as well this year but we've still got to find Greater Scaup and Red-throated Diver although we did manage to get a Lesser Scaup at Slimbridge WWT on 2nd January.
