Today I spent a couple of hours enjoying the weather and hundreds of Horned Grebes and Red-breasted Mergansers from Stony Point Natl Forest Campground on Leech Lake.
The Long-tailed Duck was seen at 11:30am. I watched it feed for 10 minutes north of the point until it was flushed by a boat and took flight toward Pelican Island. It associated with two Red-breasted Mergansers while I watched it. When it landed north of Pelican Island it was too far away to make out any additional field marks. Also of note were American White Pelicans and Red-necked Grebes.
