Something you won't see every day

In fact unless you are in this wee corner of Texas it’s unlikely you’d ever see one North of Mexico or Central America.
 

  “Black Bellied Whistling Ducks” sitting outside our RV.

 

 This guy seemed to be the alpha male, the lookout, maybe the “boss” duck, I don’t know but he always maintains an “I’m cool” stance away from the others.

 

We’ve seen them other years, sitting on telephone lines, resting in trees, exhibiting very un –duck like behaviour.  This year they have taken a liking to the empty lot beside us so we get up close and finally a couple of decent pictures.   They aren’t great shots because they’re through the window.  As soon as I go outside they’re outta here in a heartbeat.

Hope you enjoyed them.

Thanks for stopping by and please do say hi when you can.
