Black-bellied whistling duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis) really do whistle when flocking. They feed at night and flock at dawn/dusk making them tough to ID by call for first timers. #photography #floridabirds #ducks #whistlingducks #birds #blackbelliedwhistlingducks #foridawildlife #aquaticbirds

The Osprey, typically atop the pines or diving for fish here in winter, has made a recent habit of dropping down to the lake to laze & bathe. It's not every day I get to see this.
