It's in the first main pond that's private, just west of 75th St, so it's on the other side of the road from where the main official parking area is. A trail passes along the north edge of the pond. A scope is very helpful. You may be able to park along 75th itself near Hygiene if there's room, which makes for a closer walk to where the bird is – just be mindful of any No Parking signs or of blocking entrances to places.The bird's been seen by many birders now. It's in the only significant area of open water of all the ponds, along with numerous American Wigeons, and other handsome waterfowl. Occasionally Bald Eagles have flown overhead and shuffled the ducks around a bit, but it can be refound with a little persistence.Good birding,Eric-------Eric DeFonso
