Summary Fairly Common to Common migrant and winterFairly Common to Common migrant and winter resident throughout most of the region. Typically arriving in October and departing in late April or May. Highest winter numbers are found in Wrangell Narrows and possibly Glacier Bay. Very Rare or Rare in summer, except in Glacier Bay, where small numbers of non-breeders are typically observed each year. * ''Summer abundance between different areas is inconsistent - reflect true differences? esp Skagway's U.'' * ''Summer GB have any relationship to NW BC breeding birds?'' SEAK QBR Mentions * W2008-09: Peak count on KTN waterfront, where large numbers typically congregate, was about average with a maximum of 600 on 14 and 30 January. * Sp2009: Still present in the “thousands” at Glacier Bay 11–18 May, and small numbers lingered through the end of the period. This species typically departs most wintering areas in SEAK by mid to late April. * Su2009: One reported at Glacier Bay 22 June where small numbers had lingered through the end of May. This species is a very rare summer visitant in SEAK. * F2009: One at SIT 6 September was well ahead of normal October arrival time for this species. * Su2011: Non-breeding birds were found in GB, where they appear to occur annually in summer, including maximum counts of four on 4 June (in the west arm) and 20 July (in the east arm). Up to two Long-tailed Ducks were also found near JNU, 12 June–29 July. * W2011-12: High counts in Wrangell Narrows, Petersburg, included 1100 on 6 February and 1400 on 29 February, and a maximum count of 2400 on 20 February. Wrangell Narrows has long been known as a favorite wintering site for this species; e.g., Ira N. Gabrielson estimated 10,000 Long-tailed Ducks in Wrangell Narrows 24 February 1944 (Gabrielson and Lincoln 1959). * Su2012: Typical small numbers of were observed in GB this summer, with high counts of 50 on 8 June and 32 on 14 June; smaller numbers lingered into July at Tarr Inlet (latest one on 18 July). This species is very rare elsewhere in SEAK during the summer. * W2012-13: Maximum winter count of 70 Long-tailed Ducks on the KTN waterfront 15 December represented the poorest showing at that location in more than 20 years. * W2013-14: What were considered normal counts in Wrangell narrows included 3200 on 5 February and 3500 on 22 February. Peak numbers on the KTN waterfront reached 650 on 24 January. * Su2014: Up to two at JNU 1–2 June 2014 were late but not unexpected, as this species is a rare non-breeding visitant in Southeast (particularly in the Glacier Bay area). * F2014: Estimated 6,000 Long-tailed Ducks (“in a long noisy line”) were in the vicinity of South Marble and Leland islands in Glacier Bay 11–12 November - certainly one of the largest counts of this species in Southeast away from Wrangell Narrows. * W2014-15: 3,000 near Flap Jack Island, Beardslee Islands, GB 18–19 February. A local fisherman indicated that he often saw Long-tailed Ducks “in huge rafts” in that area in past winters as well. * Su2016: One was reported at Skagway 20 June 2016. This species is a rare summer visitant in Southeast, but non-breeders occur annually in summer in the GB area.s occur annually in summer in the GB area.  +
