Description
A Black-bellied Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis) takes flight from its perch at Brazos Bend State Park in Texas.
This duck is a spectacularly marked, sociable, noisy waterfowl. Often rests on low snags above water, and may perch high in dead trees. In North America found mostly near Mexican border, but has increased in numbers recently, partly because it will use nest boxes put out for it. In some areas (such as coastal Texas), feeding of this species has become popular, with landowners tossing out corn near ponds to attract hundreds of whistling-ducks.
