Chad and Trish Remley earlier today, found four Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks on a grain building in Elkhart in Morton County. Finally late this afternoon, I refound them at Elkhart Golf Course pond, after several times back and forth between this pond and sewer ponds. This should be the first ones ever found in Morton County. I got photos of them. This is my 300 bird species for Morton County too! My first trip there was in fall of 1994, when I got to bird with Chris Hobbs, Sebastian Patti, Mick McHugh and others. They introduced me to Morton County birding, and it has been a fun place for me to visit for many years.
