I was heading west on Little Chicago Road in Ferrisburgh. I went around the 90 degree bend and was then heading north. On the west side of the road was a group of Canada Geese (300+). I found a Ruddy Shelduck among them. This is "probably" the same one that Don Clark reported seeing in Westminster on 3/13, that Roy Pilcher reported seeing at Button Bay on 3/17 and the same one that Greg Askew reported seeing at Button Bay on 3/18. Even though this is most likely a domestic or an escapee, it is a handsome bird nonetheless. There were also 2 Snow Geese with them as well as a few Mallards and American Black Ducks. I was there at 12:28 p.m. Enjoy Birds, Jim Mead
