Tufted Duck Delight~

Howdee all,

On our way back south from our trip to Connecticut and MA we decided to again search for the Tufted Duck. I read it was seen two days prior,and was hoping this time we would get lucky.

If you saw my last post you will remember I did a bit of swearing about the freezing weather and the duck that did not show.

If we didn’t see the duck this time around we would at least have a nice dinner at The Narrows Restaurant.

We left Connecticut later than planned and when we arrived at the Narrows we had just a bit over and hour to search for

The female Tufted Duck

We did not bring our scope this trip.

It certainly would have come in handy as we scanned the rafts of duck.

It was overcast and a bit blustery, but not nearly as freezing as our last stop a week earlier.

We drove to another area so we could view a few rafts of duck that swam upstream..

We searched under the bridge…

We searched the north side of the bridge…
