No one seems to have posted about yesterday (Sunday) so I will report no sightings that day (AFAIK). I arrived about 5:00pm. There was a group of four birders wrapping up their visit.  They said they had looked and walked both north and south of Oil City Road, to no avail.  I stayed until 7:00

Among the people who failed to see Black-bellied Whistling Ducks at Liberty NWR today were Andrew Baksh and I, who spent much of the afternoon looking for them, from noon to 5:30. Other observers, who walked areas that we did not, also came away emptyhanded. Doug Futuyma Stony Brook, NY --
