Default Duck pic. What kind is it?
Not sure what type of duck this even is. They landed in a pond next door to my house and I snapped some pics. Thought they were cool.

Mexican Whistling duck. They like wood duck boxes if the entrance hole is big enough.

Not sure what the proper name is.

Black-bellied whistling duck AKA Tree Ducks. IMO best eating duck there is. They are starting to show up everywhere in LA. We shoot a lot in Pecan Island. I see them all the time when I am fishing Big Lake. There are 2 different species. That one and the fulvous whistling duck. They have grey feet and blue bills and are more darker colored.

At my camp in PI, about 50 of em roost everyday in the pond behind my camp. They sound pretty cool, almost like a widgeon but they call alot like wood ducks. Fun to shoot cause they come in flocks of 10-20 and their wingspan is so big you can knock a few down in one shot. And they are pretty stupid.
