The family of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks found in '99 were in
Galesville and this bird is west of Chippewa Falls.  Those locations are
60-70 miles apart.

Just curious about how close this duck is to the family that stayed all
summer in '99. Those were in Trempealeau county I believe, and Chippewa
county isn't very far away. And if there is any relation to that family
from '99. Makes me wonder if they haven't been in the area ever since,
just not seen by any sharp eyes during the interim.

This bird isn't always sleeping. Several people have observed it on the
pond on the east side of the road and gotten good photos.

Even though the duck has been staying in these two small seasonal ponds,
last night a group of us were discussing how long it would be around and
what would happen to this duck that showed up in northern Wisconsin well
north of its normal range.

With perfect timing, a new video taken by an ornithology class viewing a
vagrant White-faced Ibis recently in Massachusetts was posted on
Youtube. The class happened to be in the area when this ibis was first
discovered. Word of its presence was just beginning to spread through
the MA birding community at the time this video was taken.

As a videographer I am usually frustrated when people are talking in the
background while I am taking video, but in this case I think the
captured audio actually helps document this situation well.
