Long-tailed Duck at East Canyon

["Kristin Purdy" <kristinpurdy at comcast dot net>]

One adult male LONG-TAILED DUCK was at East Canyon Reservoir in Morgan 
County today.  Like Tim's adult male at the causeway, this one also 
appeared not to have the long tail feathers.  The bird still had an 
all-white head except for a dark oval on the side of the neck and the 
pale gray elongated scapulars.  The duck was swimming adjacent to mile 
16.5 on SR-65.  This spot is just south of the Taylor's Hollow area. 

A handful of BARROW'S GOLDENEYES and three HOODED MERGANSERS were there 
along with beaucoup Mallards, Common Goldeneyes and Common Mergansers.   
I also saw a couple Pied-billed Grebes, Western Grebes and Bald Eagles.  


East Canyon Reservoir is accessed via I-80, exit 112 or 115, through 
Henefer, and then SR-65 approximately 8 miles.
