I parked along Wynnfield Dr and walked the perimeter of Lake Churchill 
this morning with no luck on BB Whistling Ducks. Only Canada Geese, 
Mallards and a few Wood Ducks. The lake is marked private/no 
trespassing  but these signs seem to be directed at usage of the lake 
for fishing, boating, ice skating, etc. and not the path around it but I 
am not a 100% sure about this.

An arm of Little Seneca Lake is adjacent to Lake Churchill but did not 
see them there either.
