Through my Eyes

By Kelso

Long-tailed duck

"A duck of cold northern waters. Often the most abundant bird in the high Arctic. Far more vocal than most ducks, and loud melodious calls of flocks can be heard from some distance. It was formerly called "Oldsquaw," not politically correct by any measure, a reference to this "talkative" behavior -- although it is the male of this species that makes most of the noise."
