At lunch today, I biked over to the spot where I saw the WEKI yesterday. No WEKI. I biked across Muddy Creek Road and up Fiddler's Hill Road to the open field which looked promising but only held some bluebirds and 3 Eastern Phoebes all in one tree. Consolation prize was 4 Wood Ducks in the beaver pond on SERC property including one brilliant drake.
