Link up your post and share your critters, join in with my critter party ! You can share any kind of critters the real ones, pretend ones, statues and paintings, a new or old post!
The Black-bellied Whistling Ducks are always a great sighting for me. I remember Theresa aka Tex, from the Round*A*Round Ranch blog posting her Whistling Ducks photos. They are so cute and I love hearing their sounds. These ducks were seen during our Florida trip at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands.
I miss Tex and her blog and photos. Speaking of bloggers gone missing, I am also missing Christine from Ireland and her blog was Christine and her Camera. I hope both Theresa, Christine and other bloggers that are MIA are all doing well.

...great shots, enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteAll those years I lived in Florida, I don't think I've ever seen a whistling duck. They sure are cute.
ReplyDeleteYes, I miss Tex too, and those whistling ducks, the pond with reflections and all else, and wish her many happy days, Here's to you Tex, wherever you are and whatever you are doing now. They almost look as though they are talking to each other amongst the reeds.
ReplyDeleteYes I miss Tex's posts and her ducks on a Wednesday but lovely to see a these ducks on your meme. Thanks for hosting Eileen. Have a wonderful week ahead
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of these geese. the third photo is my favorite.
Do you want to place my link, I still can not.
Best regards Irma
The Whistling ducks look happy. Great sighting. If we want to see live ducks, we will have to visit the duck farm.
ReplyDeleteThese ducks are amazing... also these are new to me, so thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend, filled with captures!
Tão lindos e parecem até fizeram pose para teus cliques.Adorei! Lindo fim de semana! beijos, chica
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your help last week with the ID of the Pine Warbler.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Very beautiful post with lovely ducks!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of these beautiful birds! When I first visited Wakodahatchee Wetlands about 10 years ago I don't remember seeing any Whistling Ducks. Now they are so common there.

ReplyDeleteI particularly like the first in this series as the patterning is particularly pleasing to the eye!
It is a fact in etherland, just as "IRL" (I have learned this means 'in real life' and not the shorthand for Ireland!) that people come and people go. Some we will know why, and others, we won't. I miss a few bloggers too... YAM xx
Thanks for sharing the beautiful images, Eileen and hosting the meme. I've joined today although I should be shot for the poor quality of my bird photos. Anyway. Here I am and I wish you a happy Saturday. Jo
ReplyDeleteI miss TexWisGirl a lot and there are several others I really miss. do you remember the big black dog Remington Steel? since we got Big I have been thinking of her. that first shot of the ducks is awesome and Tex would love these photos
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ducks, I especially loved the 1st photo.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend
Warm hugs

Thos ducks are beautiful. I never heard of whistling ducks before but I have now thanks to you. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful day and weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteNice pictures of these special kind of Ducks. So very nice.
Greetings and have a nice weekend,
Marco
Hi Eileen. I used to so enjoy Theresa's Whistling Ducks so it's good to reacquaint with them through your own pictures. It's not a species we have in the UK but I'm sure it would fit in. Never even seen them in wildfowl collections but I guess there are some.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend and thanks for the link-up.
Yes, they are wonderful-looking birds, Eileen! Nice photos.
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks for hosting, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of the ducks. Love ducks and your captures!
ReplyDeleteHave a great new week, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteJust returned from Costa Rica where we saw many Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, mainly at Palo Verde but at other locations too.
ReplyDeleteDearest Eileen; I miss some of the blogger friends who retired from blogger and miss Tex. as well!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Black-bellied Whistling Ducks look sweet, I love their beaks♪ And they all look going well like ours flocking together (♡^.^♡)
Thank you very much for hosting and sweet comments.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend, xoxo Miyako*
I"ve been MIA for ages, and don't really know how much longer I will continue. I'm probably only posting now because of the awful weather and not being able to get out much. Those whistling ducks are lovely.
ReplyDeleteNice photos! I've seen these guys just a couple of times and it was cool to hear their "whistling".
ReplyDeleteawww, hi, sweet lady! a little birdie told me you posted those silly whistlers today and mentioned me. i had to come out of hiding and visit. :) yes, they are adorable, silly, wonderful and loud characters.
ReplyDeleteyou and your followers that remember me are so very kind. i am well. life has changed a lot. a lot. but i continue the adventure of life and love.
be well, dear eileen, and all. :)
That's a nice big flock and you're right...it makes me think of Tex to see them! I miss her! I think we saw some of these at Tuscawilla Park...where you went when you were here! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteEileen, enjoyed the photos of the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes! Here's to our blogger family, of which you are mayour, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteHey there Tex! I see you here! Hope you are doing well my friend! Hugs!
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures of the whistling ducks, tex was the first thing i thought of too. i miss her so much!!
ReplyDeletechristine also, what happened to her??
Yes, I remember Tex and her whistling ducks. She did give us notice that she was stopping blogging.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of these ducks, Eileen. Happy Saturday to you. I remember Christine and her Camera. Hope she is find.
ReplyDeleteThose whistling ducks are lovely. I've never seen any like that!
ReplyDeleteThose ducks charmed me the first time I saw them and always wanted some. That is until I got some pekings and very time I filled a bucket of water they were there to jump in it and splash.Sometimes a bit of a pain, since I wanted clean water to water critters. Nice to have in a proper place and still would like to have a few in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThe ducks are cute!
ReplyDeleteYes, I miss both of those bloggers.
Hello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful whistling ducks! I also remember Tex and her whistlings ducks :)
Nice to see her in the blogworld again :)
Happy Saturday and weekend!
Eileen - adorable photos. When I glanced quickly at the first one, I thought it was one duck with multiple heads! Thanks for hosting, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood day Eileen, well.....ducks have always been a favorite of mine, from the white ducks my Grandparents had on their farm. I used to be sent to gather the eggs for breakfast. As children, we would sneak up on them to see them fly to the pond. Years later, when I divorced my 1st husband I bought myself a little duck figurine as a gift to myself, just because I was now in control of my own money and could. That little duck has been a constant reminder of the strong woman I am. Then I met my now husband and when I found out he can talk like Donald Duck.....I was in heaven. He makes me laugh with that voice all the time. I cannot be angry with him for any reason when he talks in that voice. Ha, ha! And he knows it. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos. I will have to check out those whistling ducks.
ReplyDeleteThis post truly reminds me our TexWisGirl and I too miss her and her pretty blog as well! Wish she does well
ReplyDeleteLovely capture on the whistlers and cute image
Love those 'whistling ducks' ~ and wonderful nature photography!
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to you,

I love Tex as well, one day??????? Beautiful photos Eileen.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these guys again after seeing them so often on Tex's blog! How wonderful that she left a comment for you today Eileen!
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, love seeing the whistling ducks! They are so cute with their pink bills. I remember seeing them on Tex's blog and they would do the funniest things. So many bloggers have gone missing....I just learned 2 that I follow are leaving this week. I finally have a post to share.....Hope you have a nice weekend! x Karen
ReplyDeleteNot reading the text yet, but watching the pictures I remembered that often these ducks were in Tex posts. I miss her too. Best wishes and nice Sunday.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and what a fun name they have.
ReplyDeleteWow, i love these ! Very nice !
ReplyDeleteOh, Eileen, I still miss Tex so much...and I miss Christine and her Camera. And I yet miss EG Tour Guide. I still find it hard to believe that that happened to her and her husband. I think you spoke for a bunch of us with Tex... and probably Christine, too.
ReplyDeleteLots of sweeties there.
ReplyDeleteas soon as I saw the images I thought of Tex. Have not seen much of those ducks since she left blogworld. But times are changing and the blogworld are changing fast. People, blogs and memes decreases all over the place :(
ReplyDeleteSad, but not much we can do about it. I think it has to do with everything spinning faster and faster nowadays.
Saw the first ones at Anahuac NWR in TX was soooo exciting I didn't know they were in FL..how cool!! You got some awesome photos!
ReplyDeleteLove the whistling ducks! Yes, I'm sad when a favorite bloggers suddenly stops posting.
ReplyDeleteThese critters are cute. They look cheeky and I love their pink beak.
ReplyDeleteThey're so cute! I thought of Run Around Ranch as soon as I saw these.
ReplyDeleteLOVE you bbwd photos Eileen. And...Thanks for sharing with us at I'd Rather B Birdin this week and for the birthday wishes.
ReplyDeleteYour critter images are always so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy weekend!
Uma maravilha esta sequência de fotografias, aproveito para desejar um bom Domingo.

I've been missing too, but only having fun and enjoying life. I'm slowing getting back to Blogging myself so it was lovely to be back here and to see the Whistling Ducks as they are new to me!
ReplyDeleteHappy Chinese New Year

Those ducks are very well camouflaged. Beautiful pictures happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI love these ducks and yes I miss Theresa and her whistlers very much. I was glad to see her pop in and wish her only the best. I hope Christine is well also. Thank you for another super series of photos Eileen and enjoy the rest of your Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful duck photos, Eileen, and I do remember Theresa! Glad to hear all is well with her.
ReplyDeleteMe encantan las aves y que decir de los patos
ReplyDeleteDe niña los cuidaba en los pastizales de la caza de zorros y para que no se escaparan por un río...siempre me gusto buscar sus nidos.
Hermosas fotos.
I loved these photographs :)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see a comment from Theresa - pleased that all is well with her.
All the best Jan
