Long-tailed Duck in Northampton County ~ February 21, 2021

Adam Miller found a Long-tailed Duck at the "Forks of the Delaware" in Easton. I had been going down there fairly regularly because a large amount of gulls had been dropping in there on their way from the landfills back to their nighttime roosting areas. As soon as I started looking from the south side of the Lehigh River, I saw the bird on the Pennsylvania side, just south of the Free Bridge. I drove over there and the bird put on a show about 50 feet away, allowing me to get these nice photos. I like the head reflection in the second photo that looks like a puppy dog face.
