Another first for us in Salem, a Long-tailed Duck was found hanging out at World End Pond for a couple of days at the beginning of May. These little ducks are more often found on the coast in good numbers but occasionally pop up on inland ponds during migration. This little lady marks our 192nd bird recorded in Salem, and our 153rd bird recorded at World End Pond.
I went back to World End Pond during lunch and had an adult male REDHEAD on the east side of the pond. It was alone, swimming swiftly north toward the marsh. I would guess it was behind vegetation where many Ring-necks were seen coming and going from, where it was swimming towards. The ducks were very active because of a Bald Eagle so who knows. Hopefully the incoming weather will keep it there for a little while.
This is my first for NH, Salem, and World End Pond.
If you go look for it, bring a scope and just be sure to drive slow on your way in on Theresa Ave. Lots of ducks to pick through.
