Long-tailed duck
Dec 8, 2017 23:57:47 #
Went up to north a bit today to find the elusive long-tailed duck... had never seen one before. Spent a couple of hours looking with no luck, and when the fog rolled in, I figured my quest was doomed, but then about 45 minutes before the light went away completely, three of these little beauties showed up just offshore. The fog had thinned a bit but the light still wasn't very good, and they weren't super close, but I'm happy enough to have finally seen one!

Very nice! I think of them as ocean going ducks. This would be a life bird for me. A wonderfully successful outing, thanks for sharing.

Very nice photo. I saw one several years back when it was still called Oldsquaw and just happened to be in our local area.
