Peña Blanca Long-tailed Duck

Peña Blanca Lake does it again!  On November 4, Alan Schmierer discovered this Long-tailed Duck.  Amazingly this is the 14th rare bird seen there in 7 weeks!  See my last post for the list.  This morning my girls and I set out to see it.  While they were busy building a natural blind out of vegetation, "to hide from the ducks", I waited for a better look at the distant diving duck.  I finally got it, my third lifer in eight days!
