There are five Black-bellied Whistling-ducks at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (Oceanville, New Jersey). You can locate the ducks around the big observation gull tower (they tend to be together). The ducks have been spotted in the ponds around the tower. In addition to the ducks, there were many Clapper Rails (we saw at least five) and several Whimbrels. And of course a lot of shorebirds.
This is a picture of one of the ducks. http://www.pbase.com/fpimentel/image/136854244 FP -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
