The three Long-tailed ducks that have been reported on the
Mississippi River near the town of Wever (Lee County) were still
present this afternoon. To find the ducks take US Hwy 61 south from
Burlington or north from Fort Madison to the town of Wever, which is
in north Lee County. Turn east of County Road X50 head drive
approximately 5-6 miles to the river.
The ducks were along the Iowa shore near the end of Co.X50 close
enough to be seen with binoculars, although better sightings can be
made using a scope. There is a male and 2 female/immature types. The
ducks were seen between the Colusa Elevator and the pumping station
near the very end of the road.
