[mou] Long-tailed Duck, Scoter Sp. - Leech Lake

[Andrew Birch]

Today on a boat trip around Leech Lake I located a Long-tailed Duck
approximately 3 miles north of Pelican Island.  Photos of the bird can
be seen at the following URL:

I also observed three birds that I was only able to identify as Scoter
sp. although they were clearly not White Winged.

Also of note were my first Snow Buntings of the season on Pelican
Island, a large mixed flock of around 200 Scaup, and I counted 114
Horned Grebes.
