"Mesmerizing Oldsquaws: A Spectacle of Long-tailed Ducks in Flight" Witness the breathtaking sight of a flock of Long-tailed Ducks, known as Oldsquaws, soaring through the skies above the picturesque Shetland Islands in Scotland. With their mixed plumages creating a vibrant display, these magnificent birds captivate all who behold them. (Picture No. 10901683) Intriguingly, even during non-breeding seasons, adult male Long-tailed Ducks continue to showcase their beauty while in flight over Batsfjord on the Varanger Peninsula. Their striking appearance against the backdrop of this Arctic landscape is truly awe-inspiring. (Picture No. 10901682) During breeding season, witness an enchanting scene as an adult male Long-tailed Duck gracefully swims across Lake Myvatn in Iceland and navigates through the pristine waters of Laxa River in Northern Iceland. These stunning moments capture their regal presence amidst nature's tranquility. Even female Long-tailed Ducks exude elegance as they swim through Suffolk's waters during December with their non-breeding plumage glistening under winter's light. Traveling across continents to Alaska, we find these remarkable creatures thriving on tundra pools near Barrow. Here, adult males proudly display their breeding plumage while swimming or resting on partially frozen lakes and flapping their wings with grace. Braving harsh conditions doesn't deter these resilient ducks; instead, it adds to their allure. Witness an adult male sporting winter plumage swimming at sea during heavy snowfall—an extraordinary testament to survival against nature's elements. Finally, marvel at a female Long-tailed Duck gracefully gliding through Batsfjord harbor on Norway's Varanger Peninsula—a serene moment that encapsulates both beauty and serenity. These glimpses into the world offer us a chance to appreciate nature's wonders and remind us of the resilience and grace that exists within our natural world.
