i don't believe i ever heard of them called long tailed ducks . the correct name is oldsquaw.

In North American English it was formerly called Oldsquaw. The American Ornithologists' Union (2000) stated that "to conform with English usage in other parts of the world", it officially adopted the name Long-tailed Duck.
