Long(tail) Wait

I've come across Long-tailed ducks on quite a few occasions over the years - but never have I been able to get anywhere near them.  As they tend to like open bodies of water - they minute you show up they will swim off out of site.  Today, despite the brutal cold and wind, I went in search of a Tufted Duck (quite rare) that had been reported a few miles away.  Upon arrival I realized it would be hopeless for me to find this duck as there were about 10,000 similar looking Scaup.  However, the strong winds meant the ducks had tucked into a cove between a beach and a pier and this long-tailed didn't seem to mind my close company.  The only thing I wish had been different was being able to get lower (as it was I was hanging over the pier to get slightly lower)
