Fulvous Whistling-Duck rare visitor Ballona Freshwater Marsh Playa Vista California -332
"A dabbling duck that make shallow dives and tips-up. Fulvous whistling ducks are filter-feeders that eat rice and other water plants....Fulvous whistling ducks have long legs and necks, giving them a distinct profile when flying. When seen standing, fulvous whistling ducks look more goose-like, and actually, they are more closely related to geese than ducks. The male and female look alike with a tawny brown head, chest and belly and darker brown wings and back. Their white-tipped feathers form a silvery border between the belly and wings, and they have a blue-gray bill." myfwc.com/wildhabitats
