[Mich-listers] Black-bellied Whistling Duck at PMSGA - old report

[Paul Cypher]

All,

This morning (Sunday, the 29th) Walt Pawloski reported to me a juvenile Black-bellied Whistling Duck that he had at Pointe Mouillee State Game Area on the morning of Saturday, the 28th, as in...., um.......yesterday.

>From the Roberts Road parking lot, a small canal, accessed by a single boat slip, parallels the South Causeway, and heads off into the Humphries Unit (once known as the Lead Unit).  Perhaps 300 yards down the canal, it bends east. The bird was last seen....yesterday.....playing "follow the leader" with a Moorhen as it disappeared around the bend.

Today (the day after yesterday), I checked the location after work and found the canal empty.

Tomorrow (two days after yesterday) I will *try* and check the canal again (from the comfort of my air conditioned car) before I report to work.  I will not have a chance to get much further.

I will certainly post if I see it.  I will post a negative report *if* I can get there and find nothing.

I have also made arrangements for Guido and Mr. Knuckles to have a chat with Walt....

This is Paul Cypher reporting live on Sunday..............the day after Saturday.................when there was a Black-bell...........nevermind.......
