Duck Tail 2012


In Whiskey Cove today  
I saw one of the goldeneye ducks
with its transmitter tail.
He was in a large flock of goldeneyes
headed north at the end of our winter.


Can you spot the duck with the transmitter tail? Hint: front right center...

The goldeneyes are late leaving the coast this year...but should be gone any day now.
