Fulvous whistling duck (Dendrocygna bicolor) |
This is one of the most gregarious and noisy
of the Whistling ducks. I also think that it has one of the most beautiful
bills of all the ducks. Native to southern central and western states
of the US and North Mexico. Commonly feeds at night on waste grain (especially
rice), seeds, and structural plant material found in fields and shallow
water. It is a slow flyer that carries its legs out behind its body.
This is not a threatened bird. |
