A drake Tufted Duck has been on Lower Francis Pond in Mill Neck, Nassau County for at least the past several days. The pond is along Frost Mill Rd about .9 miles south of the Shu Swamp Sanctuary and the Mill Neck LIRR station. The bird is immaculate with no streaking on the sides. Possibly the Cold Spring/Huntington bird?
On a few other ducks: A Eurasian Green-winged Teal continues on Smith Pond in Rockville Centre. And yesterday I found Harlequin Ducks in Jones Inlet (3 birds incl 2 drakes) and another two at Magnolia Blvd in Long Beach (drake and female).
