6/25. Extralimital: A flock of 7 BLACK-bellied Whistling Ducks in Amherst, MA yesterday (EBird). Probably had flown through CT, perhaps up the CT River.

I believe he means here: Norwottuck Rail Trail--Station Rd. Just south and east of Amherst.

We happened to go there, and missed the birds by not long.
I don’t know if they have been seen today.
There are recent reports in New Hampshire as well.
