I visited School Road on the south side of the Sheboygan Marsh yesterday, about
7:15, looking for the Black-belled Whistling Duck reported on Friday by Jim
Popp. I met Carl Schroder and Davor Grigic, who were already scoping a large
flock of Mallards and Wood Ducks on the pond described by Jim previously.
After about ten minutes, Davor was re-postioning myself in the field to get a
better look at the ducks in the field adjacent to the pond, when ducks took
flight. Within a few seconds I was able to see one bird that did not look like
the rest of the Mallards, black under belly and wings, large white wing bars
flying northeast. I was able to track the bird for a few seconds, however, I
could not accurately describe the location to Carl within the huge flock of
birds. It eventually disappeared to the northeast.
Later, as I left, Carl and Davor where going see if there was easy access with
a canoe to the marsh canals from that spot. Without hearing any reports, I
assume they did not relocate the bird.
