Its striking appearance captivates all who catch a glimpse of its elegant long tail trailing behind it. This particular species is also spotted in Westport CT during October when autumn paints the landscape with vibrant hues. One captivating image captured this stunning creature (Picture No. 11980622), showcasing its unique features and intricate plumage. With its scientific name Bucephala clangula, commonly referred to as common goldeneye, it stands out among other waterfowl species. But Clangula's beauty isn't limited to just water; it takes flight too. In Finland during April, male Long-tailed Ducks soar through the skies (DDE-90027995).
