Plum TV's camera catches a sunset in Madaket.
Every afternoon on Nantucket hundreds of thousands of Long-Tailed Ducks travel over Madaket harbor on their way to Nantucket Sound. NPR Bird correspondent Vern Laux describes the remarkable scene.
Mr. Laux’s passion for birds has taken him around the world, but every afternoon on Nantucket he marvels at the flight of the long-tailed duck. A scene that Laux says, “It's really one of the ornithological wonders of the eastern seaboard, if not the whole country.”
If you get inspired to view this scene, head out to Madaket Harbor or Smith's Point in the afternoon and stick around for a stunning sunset.
