[mou] Long-tailed Duck in Red Wing, 4-17

[Laura Coble]

Yesterday (4-17) at 4:45 pm, I had a great look at the Long-tailed Duck
previously reported with photos on the MN Birding listserv by Theresa on
April 14 (thanks, Theresa!), and by Phil Dech on April 16. It was near Bay
Point Park, between the metal boatwells or floating boathouses, and the
park, just off Levee Road. It has orange in its bill, a dark cheek patch,
and looks as if it is molting toward breeding plumage. It doesn't have a
long tail yet, but the crown is showing black. The location is perfect for
close views. Theresa's photos are at www.badbirder.com
