I am writing to vent my frustration on the latest location descriptions of the
Eurasian wigeon at the duck river unit. After an unsuccessful attempt this
weekend, I have noticed others that have seen the bird and the ping locations
are way off. Meaning one was located in solid standing corn field and the
other was on a road not even open to the public. Latest reports have the refuge
at 45,000 ducks. Chasing misleading information is waisting birders time. When
reporting a bird, if you don’t know how to read a map put “ approximately “
that way birders are not spending hours at a location where the bird is not. If
you use the hotspot location please indicate this. (This meaning the whole unit
area) Fields are rotated some by beans others corn and others are left fallow.
Certain fields have water on them some do not. It would be great to have an up
to date map of the area in its flooded winter habitat and fallow fields. Until
then , I will keep searching
Thanks for listening
