I saw the Long-tailed Duck about 2:32, from the parking area near the Walnut
Bike Trail, south of the Walnut Boat Ramp.  I was scoping the raft of ducks
when a boat came by and flushed the entire raft.  I tried to relocate them
for about an hour and a half.  The Buffleheads came down within scope sight
of the Walnut Boat Ramp, but I was unable to relocate the others, and they
appeared to have flown over the bridge and into Delaware County.  There was
a very distant raft of ducks visible from the Galena Boardwalk (Area M
mudflats?), but it was too distant to identify.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Long-tailed Duck at Hoover Reservoir

I just spotted a male LONG-TAILED DUCK at Hoover Reservoir, northern
Franklin County. The bird was visible with a scope from the Walnut Boat
Ramp off Sunbury Road, which is just north of the Walnut Street & Sunbury
Road intersection. This individual was swimming around with a mixed group
of ducks, and spent lots of time with the Buffleheads. Easily identified
with its long tail, white crown and dark cheeks. It was present when I left
at 1:00 PM. Happy Birding!
