All,
I was able to get in touch with the person who originally reported a
fulvous whistling-duck on Tuesday. The bird was seen from a small boat that
morning near buoy #7 in the Corrottoman River, not too far from the ferry
landing. The bird was flying roughly toward the east fairly low to the
water. The person who saw it is an experienced birder and admits that the
motion of the boat, the distance of the bird and the low sun angle all
conspired to make his identification tentative at best.
Nonetheless it is worthwhile to keep an eye out for this duck. It could be
anywhere by now but birders in the Taylors Creek, Weems, Irvington and
White Stone areas should be especially vigilant.
Best,
Tom Saunders
