Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks!

Tuesday, May 20, 2014
A couple interesting observations here.  One is a pro-tip, you do not always need to take a long trip out into the wild or visit some Nature Preserve to take interesting animal photos.  With a little cropping or careful shooting angles, you can eliminate almost all human elements from a photograph.  These photos were taken in my backyard inside the Austin city limits.  I posted one photo showing a duck on my backyard arch just to illustrate the location.

Second is that these are Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks!  I had never heard of these "tree" ducks before I moved into my current home.  Ducks go with water and wetlands.  Neither are found near my home.  But there is a little flock of about 8 birds that land on top of the roofs of houses in my neighborhood and in trees as seen here.
