Long-tailed Duck
Long-tailed Ducks are coastal birds, so it is surprising for one to show up inland. This female was at the Belle Haven Marina in Alexandria, Virginia. This might be the only species ever to have its name changed because of political correctness. It used to be called the Oldsquaw, which was considered offensive to Native Americans.
