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.

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!
