Whistler
Black-bellied Whistling Duck - Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands (a.k.a. Viera Wetlins), Melbourne, Florida
I saw quite a few Whistling Ducks sitting on dead Palmetto trees at Viera, and wondered what was up with that.
Whistling Ducks are tree nesters, and I'm now thinkin' that they may have nests in some of the older dead Palmettos that have rotted centers at their tops.
