I saw my first long-tailed duck (Clangula hyemalis) in late December 2017 off the beach at Great Kills, Staten Island. A friend calls them the "beagle ducks," because these ducks do have a Snoopy quality to their faces! These ducks breed in the Arctic, and can be found during the winter on both coasts of North America.
