[obol] Falcated Duck NO

[Dennis Arendt]

Today at noon the Falcated Duck was not in the Gainsborough Homes subdivision.  I spoke with Ray Holmbery, the gentleman who first relocated the duck, and he said that a large group of birders came into the area this morning.  They wanted good pictures and walked down the path on the east side of the water channel.  The Falcated Duck moved south away from them and eventually flew off with a group of Wigeon.

Ray said that the east side of the water channel is the location where the ducks are fed and where he wishes no one would walk.  So, if this bird returns, which is likely, please stay on the west side and don't press the bird too much.  There are several very good photos of this bird, so one more is not necessary.

Ray has been very kind and helpful, so let's all be very courteous and careful.
