Three sea-ducks soar in slightly pink-tinted light. Each is white-faced with a darker bill and cheek patch, the front two have a white breast and brown wings while a male behind has black wings and a long, thin tail.

Center frame, their head tucked into their right wing, their long tail seen pointing in the back.

Happy #FeatheredFriday friends... I had about a 5-minute window to capture this dude's photo and of course, he's asleep and a long distance away. Still, you can make out his long tail--a winner in my book. #LongtailedDuck #birds #birdingOH #wildlife #nature #photography #eastcoastkin #Birdoftheday

A showy Long-tailed duck rests on the water with tail at full staff.

A Long-tailed Duck grooms his tail by rubbing it with his bill and forehead.

How do you keep your tail looking gorgeous? Easy, rub it with your bill and forehead.

A bit of digiscoped video this morning of the Long-tailed Duck at Watermead CP Birstall section, Leicester @lrosbirds.bsky.social #ukbirding #vc55birds #leicesterbirds #longtailedduck

Sunshine & blue sky! A lovely Saturday morning walk at Musselburgh. A view from the Esk mouth towards Fife; highlights included #Shelduck, #Teal & #LongtailedDuck, but 3 Shovelers were too far away for a usable shot.

Jones Beach, Long Island: female Long-tailed Duck in flight; though very far out, too cute to ignore. #longtailedduck #ducks #birdinflight #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

“❤️THE SWEETHEARTS💙”Breezy Point: after sunset the beach was getting dark I saw this pair of Long-tailed Ducks far out at sea. There was not much light left so I wasn’t going to take any more pictures but the couple was too cute so I couldn’t resist! #longtailedduck #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

Female Long-tailed Duck is swimming toward the camera. Her brown cap descends to her bill, dividing her white head in two.

A female Long-tailed Duck swims right to left across the frame. She is about to take a dive, though there is no indication in her posture. Her brown wings are raised a bit, exposing white flanks.

A split-second later, she is halfway into her dive. On the ends of her wings and half her body remains above the surface of the water. There is water cascading off her short tail.

Long-tailed Duck hen taking a dive. I can *never* predict what will be popular on social media but I really like the abstract image caught in Photo 3. I've never frozen a dive at that moment before. #longtailedduck #bird #birdphotography #birdsofmassachusetts #gooseberryisland
