I’ve been reading about the Long-Tailed Duck on Birdbrains, so Rich and I decided to drive over to Lake Davis to see if we could find it. Lake Davis is a small lake in the middle of a downtown Orlando neighborhood. It’s very close to Greenwood Cemetery, but I resisted the temptation to bore Rich with eagle-nest watching. We did find lots of Ring-Necked Ducks at Lake Davis, but no Long-Tailed Duck. Oh well. I was happily surprised to see some Mute Swans there, and Rich found some turtles. So he was happy that he tagged along.
