Subject: [PABIRDS] TUFTED DUCK in Chester County
Reply-To: 

Dear PABirders,

At about noon today Holly Merker found a female TUFTED DUCK in
northern Chester County.  Here are the dirctions:

 From the PA turnpike take route 100 north through the town of Eagle.
Pass Park Road (which would take you to Marsh Creek, but don't go
there).  In about 0.5 miles turn right on Fellowship Road from route
100.  At this intersection there is a traffic light, a Lexus
dealership, and a large Catholic Church.  In less than 0.5 miles, look
for a large circular gravel parking lot on the left side of Fellowship
Road.  Park there.  You are overlooking some sewage ponds.  The female
Tufted Duck has been on the closest pond to the gravel lot.

She has a well-developed tuft that is usually visible.

These directions were given to me over the phone by Chuck Chalfant.
They may need to be refined later today, but I think that they will
get you there.

Good luck,
BOB SCHUTSKY
