We always called those Mexican Squealers. Look like them to me. Never heard they were good to eat, thats interesting.

Yeh thats what we call em. I am telling u. If you do get the chance to kill some, skin them and cook them in a gravy. Not even teal can touch em.

Dude, they the best eating ducks that fly. We call em squeelers also but as mentioned there are two kinds. The OP's pics are of the black bellies and then there are the fulvous! Both delicious and you for sure don't have to skin them.

Yup, they were almost classified as geese. They are closely related to geese.

Yes. Also, squeelers and fulvous whistling ducks are the same. Squeeler is just a slang term. It's not a real name.

Mexican squealers are the same as a whistling duck (fulvous or black bellied)

A squealer is a wood duck

Those are all adults, these will nest anywhere, have seen em on rice field levees, patches of hyacinth, tree cavities, and wood duck boxes. After they nest, they start to disperse and can get into huge flocks. Near the Audobon Zoo in NO, the grain bins will roost over 15,000 a day.

The fulvous seem to like the rice fields more than the black-bellieds


forgot to add that i heard they were good to eat, and they are dumb too, and people call em squealers!
