We also observed a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK, several RING-NECKED DUCK, and a lone REDHEAD while on the path running along side saltpond 1A. In that area we also found Bill Bousman and two other birders who had located the LONG-TAILED DUCK before we arrived. We watched two LTDUs through Bill's scope for several minutes. One bird appeared darker and more strongly marked than the other but keeping track of which was which was still difficult... It's easy to understand how the second bird may have gone unnoticed for a while. Anyway, it was truly a nice day for a skate!
