In this area, we see the Long-tailed Duck during the cold weather months and think of it as a lake duck.
In fact, they breed on tundra lakes and winter in loose flocks along sea coasts.
They will winter on deep lakes such as Lake ontario.
Long-tailed Ducks are found both in North America and in Europe.
Long-tails migrate chiefly at night.
They are very vocal and are often first noticed by their yodelling whistle.

NATURE POETRY
Sun comes, moon comes,
Time slips away.
Sun sets, moon sets,
Love, fix a day. – Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809–92)
