Ron Ridout reports that there are currently (July 8, 10:00) 15 Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks in the field behind BLue Lake Ave in Port Dover, best viewed from the north side of 30 Blue Lake Ave. Go slow or they'll flush.
Ron reports that they were reported by Glen Patton a little while ago. Directions: https://goo.gl/maps/qV5kRQNLnMfTAkH86 this field is on the northwest edge of Port Dover. If they fly, another place to check would be Silver Lake in town.
