The Long-tailed Duck was at S. Platte and Florida as of Tuesday (Feb 15). She is shy and likes to hang under the east bank, keeping vegetation between her and you. I suspect she has a hiding place as I only see her half the times I stop to look. Jerry Cech Denver On Feb 20, 6:13 pm, B K

The picture posted on another thread is definitely not the Long-tail that has been at S. Platte and Florida. The Long-tail was an unmistakable female in typical winter plumage. It's gotta be at least part Pintail. Jerry Cech Denver, CO On Jan 31, 2:40 pm, williebondo williebo...@gmail.com
