Pintail ducks, which are rarely seen in Connecticut, were spotted along the rocks at the coast of Woodmont on March 30. Pintails are known for their long pin-like tails and long neck. The pintail is a vegetarian dabbling duck with a brown head with long white stripe. It has a gray back and a blue bill. These migrating birds are more common on the Central Flyway, so birders get excited to see them along the East Coast. They will continue heading north to breed. Photo by Tim Chaucer.
