Please see note from Ernest M. The finder. “Mottled Duck at Ketchams in Amityville!! First confirmed for the NY state. I found it late afternoon on Tuesday but didn’t know what it was. Sent Shai some photos after I did some research and suspected MODU and he thought it had potential. We looked all day Wed and yesterday, but it was a no-show. It’s now been confirmed this morning! It’s been near the culvert at the north end of the pond between Pearl Pl and Kenmore Ave. Mostly hidden this morning. It’s kind of a delicate area - in a residential neighborhood, with mostly limited views through phrags. There’s parking in front of peoples homes, but also parking behind a closed bank on Montauk Hwy. Perhaps best to park there and walk around.”
More information will follow I am sure.
