Working down the list...

Kevin, have you ever considered a trip to Longpoint, Ontario, or as others have stated, hunt the same birds on the U.S. side?

Paul, rather than get into a discussion on whether a scaup is a greater or lesser, based on head shape with a C.O. down the road, you would be better served to go by the extension of white coloration along the primary feather shafts on the wings.

Longpoint was my go to spot for over twenty years. I have rarely (if ever) harvested a canvasback there although I know some are taken. Redheads can be plentiful in late October or early November if you hit it right and scaup are common. It has the same rules as the Ontario side of Lake St. Clair but is much larger. It can be just as difficult to find a good spot and I would much rather deal with the "locals" at LSC. My experience with late season hunting is much better on Lake St. Clair.

Lots of options.

I don't need all the birds at once, or in one trip. Just kind of starting to expand my horizons a little. Variety is the spice of life after all.

Long point would of course be an option. I know nothing about it of course, but there is always time to learn.

The Great lakes has a wonderful variety of ducks. You can shoot sea ducks, divers and puddle ducks all in the same day.
What about the port clinton area of OH?
 
My experience is that body size, bill and nail size and primary color is the best indicator of lesser vs. greater.
Greaters are big birds, redhead size.
Lessers are much smaller.
