RE: [nysbirds-l] Tufted Duck (YES)
I don’t think it was posted, but the Tufted Duck was seen again yesterday from the vantage point at the end of Southdown Road, overlooking Lloyd Harbor. A scope is must at this spot, as here it is a Tuf Duck. And I have to say that although it was in my scope, I didn’t go away feeling like I had seen a Tufted Duck. With a better sense of where everything is inside Huntington Harbor, I went back at dawn today. From the little park on the north side of the police docks (east side of the harbor), I immediately saw the Tufted swim in with some Mallards into the boat basin on the north side of the park. After a while, it ended up at (one of the) Knutson Marine. There is a driveway just before a blue building that leads down to a public access spot, from where the Tufted was visible. It alternated between these spots until 8:30. While I don’t prefer to go after ducks – with a camera – on overcast days, I was wondering whether it might stick around longer as a result. I don’t know if the light conditions affect its coming and goings. I heard one suggestion that the activity of we birders and photographers are to blame. It did seem skittish to me. In any event, it took its first flight this morning as a result of the Harbormaster boat setting sail. That was about 8:20, but it appeared to land back at Knutson. At that spot at about 8:30, I believe that was the duck I saw take off for the north (presumably to join the scaup flock in Lloyd Harbor).
