Description
Guarding the Whistlers by Debra Martz At least it appeared that way. From time to time, the Black-bellied Whistling Duck on the upper branch would depart, sometimes returning right back to its position but other times a Whistler from the lower log would move to the top and when the other one returned it would take its place...as if some duck had to always be on guard. The deck overlooking this pond next to the visitors center of Estero Llano Grande State Park in Weslaco, Texas is a great place to kick start a day of bird watching!
"Black-bellied Whistling-Duck: Breeds from the southern United States and tropical Central to south central South America. It can be found year-round in southeast Texas, and seasonally in Arizona, and Louisiana's Gulf Coast. Rare breeder in such disparate locations as Florida, Arkansas, Georgia and South Carolina. Occurs in quiet, shallow freshwater ponds, and estuarine wetlands and marshes." per www.whatbird.com
