Hello Ontbirders This morning around 9:10 Craig Ham and I arrived at the pond to find the Black-bellied Whistling Duck in plain view in the pond closest to the road, in the company of some Mallards. We observed and photographed it for about 5 minutes before all the ducks disappeared into the grasses at the near edge of the pond. We hung around for another 15 minutes or so, and had only one small glimpse of it during that time. Timing is everything!
Directions as previously posted: > From the west end of Picton at the traffic lights take Lake Street south > (Lake Street becomes County 10) about 9 km to Cherry Valley, continue left on > County 10 through Milford about 3 km. The ponds are on your left just past a > bend and across from the intersection of Royal Road.
