Thanks Sharon...they breed in the Arctic and winter along the coasts as far south as the mid states. They are also found in the great lakes in the winter. These were taken on Lake Ontario. Unfortunately not many find their way to Alabama Scott

I'm not sure Mitch, but they use their wings for underwater propulsion so maybe the long tail acts as a rudder?? mikeivan wrote in post #7343896 Very nice exposures of a difficult (B & W) duck.

If so, you must have been using a cannon of a lens! I was out there yesterday and saw them along the far breakwall at the marina entrance hanging out with some Common Mergansers. Attila P.
