White winged duck (Cairina scutulata) |
Known locally in Assam as the
Spirit Duck because of their haunting, eerie calls. It is a cavity tree
nester and can now only be found in remote areas of peat swamp forest
in the jungles of south-east Asia. The White-winged duck is very secretive
and feeds mainly at night on seeds, grain, rice, snails and fish. This
species is considered to be endangered. |
