I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
For this week's Wild Bird I am sharing the Black-bellied Whistling Duck that I saw in Belize.. These shots were taken from my boat ride and birding outing on the Sittee River near Hopkins, Belize..
I have been enjoying these ducks at Theresa's blog @ Tex's Whistlers-on-wednesday that I decided to share some of my photos of these adorable ducks...
I think these shots are not too bad considering we were in a boat..These Whistling Ducks are one of my favorite birds. They are just so darn cute..
They are a large duck with a long neck.. a grayish face, bright pink bill and legs. They have a chestnut breast and black belly. And they really do have a whistle call.
Flocks feed on waste grain on agricultural fields or they eat at Theresa's yard in Texas..I hope you enjoyed my ducks and post..
As always I thank you in advance for stopping by my post and for the nice comments. Sorry, I am not able to send thank you emails for your comments, working full time, life and blogging takes up a lot of time lately.

When I read the name, I thought Costa Rica! You certainly had a nicer setting for the ones you saw in Belize compared to the ones I saw in Costa Rica.
HI Eileen Yes it is not as easy photographing from a boat however you managed it splendidly. I love these ducks.
São muito lindos! Beleza! bjs, tudo de bom,chica
You really did good with these. Great shots.
Nice job, Eileen. They are sweet looking!
I love the colour of their beaks, they really do stand out. Thanks for sharing x
The Whistlers are beauties!
i saw your title and thought maybe more had made it up to maryland! i'm just glad you get to see them - at least in your travels!! adorable things, they are!
Some people take pics from car windows while you take from the boat. Sometimes the moment just happens!
I love the colors in these guys. And what a funny name too.
Wow, what fun, and an incredible capture!
when i saw these i thought i made a mistake and was on TexWisGirl.. LOL then my first thought was how did the ducks get all the way to MD... then i read the post.
These whistlers are wonderful, Eileen.
Hello Eileen!!

Dimi...
Never seen such ducks, the red beaks look so funny !
they ARE cuties
Lovely Ducks, whistle while you work, I love 'em.
Lovely to know you see them too, and the places they feed, I'm sure the word gets around for them to call in at Theresa's for a top up or a full dinner menu. Jean.
They really are nice looking ducks.
Fantastic shots of ducks.
I love these ducks....and yes, I thought of Tex as soon as I saw them! Enjoy your day! Hugs!
Aren't these birds characters? We have them down here at times and if you get too close, watch out! I watched one follow a woman and nip at her heels!
Great shots of these ducks.
My favorite birds! Like you, I LOVE them. Thanks to Theresa, we get to see them on a regular basis. Very nice photos!
They are beautiful. The browns are very pretty.
I love your photos of these Belize Whistlers Eileen. Always a favorite of mine, the Whistlers. I only ever saw, and heard, them one time, when I was at the zoo in San Diego. Feeding time was a hoot, they really do whistle and what a cacophony of sound they create. It was such fun!
glad u had a few 2 share 2. ( : love their bills.
They're adorable looking birds! Loved seeing these.
They sound like very colourful characters.

Now, I can say that I know two people who enjoy Whistling Ducks :) You did amazingly well to get those captures from a boat! Thanks for calling attention to their distinguishing features. Your love of birds and appreciation for nature always comes through beautifully in your posts, Eileen. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Lovely shots and gorgeous birds !
I love seeing them !
Greetings
Great shots of these unique looking ducks.

Very pretty, Eileen!
I hope to go to Belize someday.

What a broad range they have - love seeing these cute guys. xo Karen
O, I, too love these little cuties.
I have enjoyed seeing them over at Run Around Ranch and now with you. I've never seen one "in person" and sure hope to, someday.
These goofy ducks crack me up! Very nice photos!
Comical and dear creatures!

I adore these ducks, beautifully captured, love all the shots.
They are so darn sweet.
What lovely ducks Eileen. Beautiful photos.
I always enjoy Theresa's shares too of these beauties. Eileen you got some great snaps, they are really neat birds. I would love to see one in real too~
Fantastic seeing them, knowing your spotting was in Belize! I wonder if any of the same ones visit Theresa's yard? :-) Beautiful photos of the pretty things!
I would love to see whistling ducks like these!
They are really pretty and I love their name.
Hi Eileen, Yes, you and Tex! Fun! The Whistlers are such cuties. Have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Oh what cute ducks and I love waterfowl.. my new personal blog is at myramblingwoods.com Eileen.. Michelle
Their color makes the scene so pretty. What great captures.
Awesome captures Eileen, I thought I was visiting tex ;)
I have always enjoyed Theresa's posts of her whistlers. You just prove they are cute wherever they are!
Lovely captures Eileen!
Thanks for your visit. It's nice to be back blogging and have visitors the first day. :)
Hi Eileen,
Oh what cute ducks and beautiful paradise!
I love to see they are marching in a line.
They look so good together. I wonder what the sound must be all of them quacking away together.
Aren't they wonderfuL? Nice to have a day off, isn't it?!
My client cancelled, as they were having company. It was a holiday for me!
Beautifully these ducks. I always see them at Teresa (TexWisGirl) and I still find them very nice. Beautiful colors Eileen.
Whistling Ducks are a real rarity here, but I am looking forward to seeing them in Costa Rica again.
And so curious redish ducks (actually with "pink bill" like I've never seen before)... amazing, indeed!

The are adorable aren't they!
You're so lucky Eileen to see the Whistling Ducks - they have the most beautiful orange/peach colored bill!!
