These are such lovely ducks - among my favourites.

It's a [COLOR="Blue"]Long-tailed Duck[/COLOR], though, not a Pintail. I've put the correct scientific name in the field.

I think you used to call these "Old Squaw", but it's not considered p.c. any longer!;) I don't understand the politics of it all though LOL.
