Howdy all,

I spent about an hour scoping the river from the boardwalk at Piscataway 
Park this evening and did not find a EUWI. There were a handful of AMWI 
and plenty of other ducks though so maybe he'll get lonely and come 
back. If anyone has time in the morning he might have moved back to 
Piscataway Creek (from Wharf Rd), the ducks like it back there when it's 
breezy out.

Good birding,

Sharon found it; they were standing on the boardwalk that leads from the parking lot to the place where the Mississippi Kites were seen this past summer.  The bird was with bunches of ducks, including Hooded and Common Mergansers, Lesser Scaup, and Ruddy Ducks.  It was on the Virginia, western side of the boardwalk, and if I recall correctly was not all that far from the boardwalk.
