I bet Larry Reynolds can't tell either, especially from in the air.
You'd lose your bet. Scaup and ringnecks are difficult to tell from the ground, but NOT from the air. Ringnecks show all black; scaup drakes show big white sides. They are a piece of cake to distinguish from the air.

There have been a lot of folks posting photos with over-limits of scaup this year. The daily bag limit is 3 so be careful, and know that LE is watching the forums as well. One of my good friends and 3 partners hunted near Delacroix this morning. They all limited on scaup and didn't get another species.
In most years and in most places, over-bagging scaup is a rarity. But for whatever reason, in some years, our scaup kill goes out the roof. During those years, scaup are found in far more places than normal, we shoot a lot of adults, and get a pulse of recoveries from long-banded birds. It seems that the population becomes vulnerable compared to prior years. This year seems to be one of those years. At my lease, for example, we killed more scaup the opening weekend of the first split than had been killed total in the prior 10 seasons.
