Aug 21-22, Hubby and I enjoyed a little getaway to Delaware, the main reason was birdwatching of course. What else? I read on facebook that there were some Black-bellied Whistling Ducks hanging out on a little neighborhood pond in Clayton Delaware which is only minutes from my favorite Bombay Hook wildlife refuge. I have loved these cute ducks ever since Tex Girl and her blog Run*A*Ranch introduced them on her blog. I think my first sighting of these cute ducks was in Florida.

1. The Black-bellied Whistling Ducks seemed to have made this pond their home for the summer. They even had some ducklings, you can see in the top right image in the mosaic below.
2. A good sized group of Black-bellied Whistling ducks with some Canada Geese and a few Mallards.
3. The ducklings are growing fast but the adult Black-bellied Whistling duck is staying close by.
4. Other birds in the little pond were the Canada Geese, Mallards and a Great Blue Heron.
5. I believe these two ducks below are the American Black Ducks.
6. Another shot of my favorite Whistling Ducks with the Mallard and Canada Geese.
7. This Black-bellied Whistling Duck seems to be albe to sleep standing up.
8. Another cute Black-bellied Whistling Duck.
