"The BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING DUCKS are visible across from the Lions Den/wastewater treatment facility in Camden. I think safest bet is to use the free public parking lot on Knowlton street across from the skate park, walk through the skate park and follow the gravel footpath along the river. Birds are on a lawn across the river between two big willows."
Robin Ohrt said that after that, they flew up the river just a bit.

Passing along a report of a group of at least nine Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks that were photographed in a private yard in Camden on the 27th and 28th. The homeowner is "very private and doesn't want people over" but I wanted to share this sighting in hopes that people could check public areas around Camden that may attract this flock. I'd focus on shallow freshwater ponds, keeping in mind that two of Maine's three previous records were in man-made retention ponds.
Good birding,
