On Dec 1-2023, Jeremy Gatten discovered the returning male Tufted Duck on the Duncan Sewage Lagoons. That is probably the identical hen that he first discovered on the web site in 2020.

There isn’t any public entry contained in the lagoons however birders can view the hen by means of the fence from the elevated path off Wharncliffe Rd that provides view over many of the sewage lagoon.

The hen continues on January twenty first, 2024 and has been seen by a number of observers.
