Long-tailed Duck in Hennepin County
2011-12-11

Occasional in Hennepin County in the Winter season

Steve Carlson found a different female LTDU on Lake Calhoun than the November one. This bird has a different head pattern showing less white on the face than the one photographed on Showcase November 25th. It has continued to be seen daily since December 7th moving around the lake to the open water with many Common Goldeneye and Common Mergansers.
