Hey,
There is a male ''Eurasian'' Green-winged Teal in a flooded field near Port Franks this morning. The field is 500 m south of Port Franks Road, along Hwy 21 - look for the big cell-phone tower adjacent.
The creek just overtopped yesterday and has produced some excellent waterbird habitat. Along with the Teal were many other ducks, a nice mix of gulls and a Greater Yellowlegs.

Not that this bird will create much of a stampede, but the birds are visible from the road, so no need to leave the car, if you are so disinclined.
Cheers,
James and Mary H.
