Description
The black bellied whistling ducks are lined up in a row with their heads down in the water looking for yummy tidbits to eat. Well, they all are except for one, who's got his head up, with his bright beak and eye showing, and is turned the opposite way and is looking at the other ducks as if to say, "Hey, I didn't get the memo about this scheduled coordinated 'ducking' behavior." The background of the ducks in this photo painting is bright blue water dotted with green algae.
The black-bellied whistling duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis), seen in this appealing digital painting, is now native to Central and South America and to the southern United States. These were found in Port Charlotte, Florida, at a lovely little pond-marsh area called Ollie's Pond. They are gregarious birds, sometimes gathering in large flocks, and they can be noisy with their whistling call. The bird is sometimes called the black-bellied tree duck after their habitual nesting habitat of hollow trees.
