The Pipe Creek black-bellied whistling-duck flew off a little after 10:00
this morning (8/14).  When I left around 11:30 it had not been relocated.
It flew off with a large group of mallards heading east-southeast.  I
checked in the vicinity of the McDonalds, where mallards sometimes hang out,
but found nothing.  A few mallards were coming back so maybe it will follow
them back.  If anything the shorebirds alone make the trip worthwhile.

I did get a shot of the duck as it was flying off.  See:
