[Ontbirds] Fulvous Whistling-Duck? - St-Albert sewage lagoons, East of Ottawa

[Langis Sirois]

   A  Fulvous  Whistling-Duck was present late yesterday afternoon at the
   St-Albert sewage lagoons, East of Ottawa.

   The  bird  was standing in the grass, in company of a male Mallard and
   other ducks on the bank of the South-West lagoon.  It flew away with 3
   males  Mallards, but when I stopped following them they were flying in
   a  direction which seemed to indicate that they might return, although
   I did not see them return.

   I  will  send  a more detailed report later on, to explain among other
   things  why  I  put a ? in the title, although I am satisfied with the
   identification.

   Good luck to anyone looking for this bird.
