YesIn last year's report (Bain 1994), the report of this species was placed in the Deferred Records category because its wild status was uncertain. However, this view has changed in one year. Alan Wormington comments on his voting slip: "During the past few years there have been numerous records (involving flocks of birds) in such places as Quebec, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Virginia, West Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas and Nevada". Thus, the 1993 record is removed from the deferred category and becomes the first record for the province. The Black-bellied Whistling Duck is now added to the Official Ontario Checklist. Photographs of the 1993 birds indicated that they are of the expected northern nominate subspecies D.a. autumnalis (Ross James, pers. comm.).

Tiny Marsh (2 May) and Riverside (4 May). These Ontario records were part of a dramatic dispersal of this species northward that occurred during the spring and summer of 2010. Other Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks during this period were reported in North Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New York and Maine (Brinkley 2010, 2011a).

These four records were part of a remarkable northern movement of this species in eastern North America, which saw reports in South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Quebec and Nova Scotia (eBird 2020). The last such event occurred in 2010 when three records, comprising 24 individuals, were documented in Ontario (Wormington and Cranford 2011). The Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks observed at multiple locations in Essex are the longest staying record of this species in Ontario with at least one individual remaining for 102 days.

A detailed account of the 1976 Hamilton bird has been published by McLaughlin (1976). [changed to origin questionable in 2011 report]: The record was originally accepted as natural occurring wild birds (Wormington 1986). Compelling evidence from multiple sources confirmed that the sighting occurred in 1961 and not 1962. In addition, two Fulvous Whistling-Ducks escaped from a Buffalo area zoo weeks prior to the sighting (Black and Roy 2010). This record also includes corrected information regarding both year of occurrence and dates of observation (see "Corrections/Updates to Previous OBRC Reports").

This record is the first accepted for southern Ontario as a wild bird. It arrived with and associated with the hundreds of migrant Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus) in the Long Point marshes. With the population of Ross' Gees in western Hudson Bay increasing steadily, more observations in southern Ontario can be expected.
