The Mottled Duck on Avon Lake, Amityville (L.I.) was visible at about
11:00 today, directly across from the southernmost house on E. Lake Drive.
It was resting against the west bank of the lake, below shrubs, just where
it was seen yesterday. It was in the company of a female Mallard.

Showed nicely at Ketcham’s Creek LI at the Northend then worked it’s way south.
I watched as it aggressively drove off a drake Mallard who got too close to the
hen Mallard that the Mottled Duck has been hanging out with.
