Tom Truex, Oshkosh Bird Club member, and Sylvia Barbarich found a
small female duck on Sunday in the water on the south side of James
Island in Little Lake Butte des Morts. This island is where the
north branch of the Fox River goes from Lake Winnebago into Little
Lake Butte des Morts - not sure, but this is probably within the city
of Menasha.
The duck was small, very dark, had white "fuzzy" patch on the side of
the face, and a petite bill. It did not show any white in the wings
when it flew.
Tom and Sylvia would like for others to see and confirm their
identification if possible.
You can reach this area by turning left (west) as you go north on
Commercial St. just before the bridge across the north branch of the
Fox. (Just before main street Menasha). I'm not sure of the name of
the street you turn on, but there is a traffic light there - it may
be James River Street (named for the factory on either side of
it). Follow that to its end and turn right (north) and check each
street that dead ends into the river. You'll be just south of the
island. All this is in Winnebago County.
Good luck,
Bettie Harriman
