Wandering Whistling Duck
Wandering Whistling Duck, Dendrocygna arcuate
Formerly named tree ducks, the wandering whistling duck has its new name because of their loud whistling calls and the whistling noise their wings make during flight. They have long necks and legs and look like a cross between a goose and a duck. The wandering whistling duck lives in deep lagoons, flooded grasslands or dams. They enjoy the water and rarely leave the shore. They can swim and dive with ease. They inhabit tropical and subtropical Australia, Philippines, Borneo, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands. A vagrant species in Sabah and Sarawak.
