What is presumably the same Mottled Duck found in the spring by Ernst Mutchnick at Ketcham’s Creek Freshwater Wetland in Copiague, just east of Amityville in Suffolk County was refound by Ernst in the same location on Tuesday, Oct. 18. The bird was seen on multiple days this week and again yesterday. The area around this small wetland is very overgrown with extremely limited viewing access. There is a very small opening at a culvert accessible from Lake Drive across from Pearl Place. There is only room for one or two observers at a time.
