Long-tailed Duck in Bent County

[Duane Nelson]

Birders,

There is a female Long-tailed Duck on Lake Hasty below John Martin Dam
this afternoon. This bird shouldn't be that hard to find, except that it
spends most of it's time underwater, so it might take a little time. It
was in the south part of the lake south of the pole that doesn't attract
nesting Ospreys.

Also present on Lake Hasty are double-digit American White Pelicans and
a nice assortment of ducks. At least five Greater Yellowlegs are hanging
around the stilling basin below the dam with Killdeer.
