There are no other ducks that display as much sexual dimorphism in bill structure as the scoters- Common Scoter's especially so. Isn't that weird. It's impossible to sex almost all other wildfowl on bill shape. Only some eiders share this feature, and even they rely mainly on fleshy protuberences rather than keratin.
