Day 51

A mystery bird or two…

I saw this duck down by Giant Springs a couple of days ago.  I finally determined it is a female Long-Tailed Duck, previously known as an Oldsquaw.  It is a little outside of its range through Southern Alberta.

This one had me going for a while: two rare birds in one day???  Nope, it is a female Bufflehead.
