On 12-29-2010 I stopped by E.72nd somewhat as a scouting mission before the thaw to see the level of activity, I met there fellow photog and birder Dennis McDonnell where we both had descent looks at a "Old Sqauw" Long Tailed Duck. This male appeared to keep to himself as he fished the warm water discharge waters diving and often staying down upwards of 90 seconds. I did not have my Long glass with me but managed a shot which I attached. Today I stopped back 12-31-2010 and again seen Dennis McDonnell there and also met Dane there. The Long tailed duck was again spotted much further out and was with other waterfowl Canvasbacks,Lesser/Greater Scaups, a solo Pied Billed Grebe, Mallards and American Black Ducks a few Goldeneyes and a couple Ring Necked Ducks were present. Numbers of waterfowl and Gulls was down from my previous visit on 12-29-2010 as most all the ice had thawed and was now open waters. Lets hope this LongTail hangs around for a bit.
