Long-tailed Duck — size comparison — facts and sources

The long-tailed duck breeds in tundra and spends much non-breeding time offshore. Partly spread wings propel it underwater, unlike many ducks relying mainly on feet. Winter diets include marine crustaceans and bivalves.

Females lead young between waters as food becomes depleted. Ducklings feed independently soon after hatching.
