Long-Tailed Duck

Long-Tailed Duck is another one in the family of interesting-looking waterfowl. Until this winter, I didn't even know they existed. When I saw my first one a few weeks ago at Robert Moses State Park, I thought it must've been the rare of the rarities. But then I visited Sandy Hook, and they were there by the dozen! They like the ocean side better than the bay side, but there were quite a few in the calm waters on the bay side as well.





Can you see me?


Got something!


Do you think I'll make it?
