The duck was still present on July 26 from 6:00-6:30 pm. We did not see it at first, but then a group of ducks came out of the reeds on the side of the pond closest to the road. It was still there when we left. It does seem to be attempting to integrate itself into a family of mallards and doesn't mind being photographed!

Directions as previously posted: >From the west end of Picton at the traffic lights take Lake Street from the LCBO and follow south (Lake Street becomes County Road 10) about 9 km to Cherry Valley. At the stop sign in Cherry Valley, turn left and follow C.R. 10 to Milford. The ponds are 10 km from the turn in Cherry Valley. Upon reaching Milford, turn left at the stop sign (a T or 3-way intersection), then right again at the post office in Milford, and continue on C.R.10 for about 2-3 km. The ponds are on a farm to your left on the bend of the highway just beyond and across from the intersection of Royal Road. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
