Long-tailed Duck
Long-tailed Duck has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22680427/132528200
This female Long-tailed Duck was a rare visitor to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, for several weeks during winter 2020-2021. This species of sea duck normally spends the nonbreeding season on coasts in both the Old World and the New World, but the Bow River in Carburn Park seemed to fit the bill for a while — especially in places with choppy waters as in this image.
