Male lesser scaup have a glossy black head with a purple cast. Lesser scaup also have a smaller, less-round, purple-tinted head than greater scaup. The smaller size of the lesser scaup is very obvious. Lesser and greater scaup are often found together. The female's bill is similar to that of the male, but slightly duller, and the legs and feet are gray. Female greater scaup are brown with white oval patches around their bills. The legs and feet are gray and the iris is yellow. The bill is a light blue-gray with a black nail, both of which are larger in greater scaup than lesser scaup. This contrasts with lesser scaup, in which the white is restricted to the speculum. The wing has a broad white speculum, with white extending into the primaries. The back is whitish with fine black vermiculations, and the tail and upper- and under-tail coverts are black. The neck, breast and upper mantle are glossy black, and the flanks and belly are white, sometimes with gray vermiculations on the lower flanks. Male greater scaup tend to have a glossy black head tinted green, although head color can vary and is not a reliable distinguishing feature. Male greater scaup also have a larger, more rounded head than male lesser scaup. Greater and lesser scaup are often found together, but the larger size of the greater scaup is very obvious. The legs and feet are gray-blue and the iris is brown. The neck, back, sides and flanks are brown and the belly is white. The bill is slate with a faint white band near the tip. A narrow white line extends from the eye to the back of the head. Female ring-necked ducks have a brown head with a black crown, light brown cheeks and chin and a white eye ring. Ring-necked ducks are silent except in display, when a low whistling note is uttered. ![]() The legs and feet are gray-blue and the iris is yellow. The "ringneck" name is derived from a faint brownish ring around the base of the neck, which is visible only upon close inspection. The bill is slate with a white border around the base and nares, and a pale white band behind the black tip. The belly and flanks are whitish to grayish, with a distinctive triangular white wedge extending upward in the area in front of the folded wing. Male ring-necked ducks have an iridescent black head, neck, breast and upperparts. Female ring-necked ducks most closely resemble female redheads, but are distinguished by their smaller size peaked, angular head profile and pale region around the face. View AllĪlthough male ring-necked ducks superficially resemble their counterparts in greater and lesser scaup, their peaked, angular head profile, distinctive white bill markings and uniformly dark upper wings distinguish them. The bill is blue-gray with a black tip and the legs and feet are blue-gray. Female Eurasian wigeon have gray-brown-to-russet-brown heads, necks, chests, backs, sides and flanks. In flight, a white shoulder patch and green speculum are displayed. ![]() The flanks are finely vermiculated and appear gray. The breast is grayish-pink and the lower breast, belly and sides of the rear body behind the flanks are white. Male Eurasian Wigeon have a black-speckled russet-red neck and head topped with a cream stripe. Females in reddish plumage have russet-brown heads, necks, chests, backs, sides and flanks, with a much redder tinge than female American wigeons. However, adult female Eurasian wigeons have two color phases: gray and red. Females of the two species are so similar that separation in the field is unreliable. The male's bright russet-red head, topped with a cream stripe, and its gray back and sides, distinguish it from its American cousin. Eurasian wigeons often can be found in the company of American Wigeons.

If you prefer to buy your solar energy system, solar loans can lower the up-front costs of the system. ![]() In general, a purchased solar system can be installed at a lower total cost than system installed using a solar loan, lease, or power purchase agreement (PPA). By using Energy Star appliances and other products in your home, you’ll need less solar energy to power your home.Ĭonsumers have different financial options to select from when deciding to go solar. It should also be noted that energy efficiency upgrades complement solar energy economically. ![]() Not only are the prices of panels dropping, so are the costs associated with installation, such as permitting and inspection-also known as “ soft costs.” All of SETO's funding programs are working toward improving the affordability of solar and making it easier for consumers to choose solar. The cost of going solar has dropped every year since 2009, a trend researchers expect to continue. In some cities around the country, solar is already cost competitive with the electricity sold by your local utility. ![]() Check the National Utility Rate Database to see current electricity rates in your area. Your savings also depend on the electricity rates set by your utility and how much the utility will compensate you for the excess solar energy you send back to the grid. The amount of money you can save with solar depends upon how much electricity you consume, the size of your solar energy system, if you choose to buy or lease your system, and how much power it is able to generate given the direction your roof faces and how much sunlight hits it. The company's Community Solar Marketplace aggregates the many available options in one place and standardizes project information, allowing interested consumers to easily locate and compare multiple community solar projects in their area. Those interested in community solar can take advantage of a tool from SETO awardee EnergySage. Costs associated with purchasing and installing a solar energy system are divided among all of the participants, who are able to buy into the shared system at a level that best fits their budget. Community solar allows multiple people to benefit from a single, shared solar array that can be installed on- or off-site. If a solar professional determines that your roof is not suitable for solar, or you don’t own your home, you can still benefit from solar energy. You should also consider the age of your roof and how long until it will need replacement. Typically, solar panels perform best on south-facing roofs with a slope between 15 and 40 degrees, though other roofs may be suitable too. The size, shape, and slope of your roof are also important factors to consider. If there are trees near your home that create excessive shade on your roof, rooftop panels may not be the most ideal option.

And the biggest difference was the added drinking tube which wrapped around the voice diaphragm and attached to an exhale valve. It had a rounded lens and 40mm filter similar to the GP-5. The upgraded version, the GP-7, came in as a civilian-issued version of the PMK-1 and was preceded by the GP-5m. The bag has two pockets that would contain bandages and a decontamination kit. The case for that filter is made of lead and everything issued with the mask is placed inside a khaki fabric bag with two straps (one around the waist and another over the shoulder). The bottom is made of metal and inside is a 40mm filter inlet. Lastly, we have the air that passes through the inhale valve which is then passed into the mask through Tissot tubes which are located beneath the lenses. The GP-5 taught modern gas mask creators what should be added by default to today’s products that MIRA Safety sells. ![]() It makes sense that if this was sold cheaply on the market, it wouldn’t have an anti-fogging mechanism (which in modern masks, such as the MIRA Safety CM-6M, is a given to include). And adding insult to injury, the lenses that are crimped into the rubber are small and easily fog up. As effective as that may seem, it’s very uncomfortable for the wearer. The latex rubber adheres to the skin and creates a seal, preventing contaminants from inhalation. The GP-5 is a helmet-type gas mask with white/black rubber that stretches over the head. To this day, if you really wanted a GP-5, you could potentially go to the site of the Chernobyl disaster and you’d likely find several in the debris, scattered amidst the disaster zones. Since most Soviet Union civilians were expected to have a GP-5 gas mask (including the children but with a longer hose), they were cheaper than most, simple to produce and easy to obtain. The Dicey Design of the GP-5 and GP-7Īs mentioned, the GP-5 was specifically designed to counter a possible nuclear war with the U.S. After the GP-5m (the upgrade which came after the GP-5), the Soviet Union then began production on the GP-7 gas mask which was distributed in 1988. It was used as a way of preventing the inhalation of toxic and radioactive substances, including bacterial agents.Īs stated, the GP-5 would cease production in 1990, and so if you find one today, it’s likely it will NOT be as effective against nuclear disaster or a respiratory hazard. All civilians were advised that these gas masks would last up to 24 hours. ![]() What mattered then was that it was (1) super cheap and (2) super simple to manufacture.
