303. Long-tailed Duck

Date         March 6, 2020
Location    Quemahoning Reservoir, Hollsopple, PA





This was another gift from the Audubon field guide app alerts. I proceeded down Quemahoning road slowly, scanning the reservoir to my left. I didn't see anything as I arrived at the first parking area near the hairpin turn, where that section of the reservoir terminates. That area has been a good spot before, so I parked and walked over to the shore.

At first I saw the usual Hooded Merganser, but then I spotted two white-and-gray-and-black ducks diving. They looked very much like the picture above (except facing the other way). They eventually stopped diving, preened for a bit, then rested.
