Black Bellied Whistling Ducks in St. Joe
|
FYI....personally have never seen these well enough to add to my life list. Good excuse for an early morning walk if you're in the area.

Patrick J. alerted other local birders this morning to two BBWD's in a pond on the west side of Mark Youngdahl CA in St. Joe. They were out in the open briefly for a photo op then hid in the reeds and grasses. Patrick says they have been there a couple of days. The 32nd street parking area is just south of Faraon Street but is unmarked as you drive south--it's a curved driveway on the left. From the parking area, a gravel path to the left goes down hill to the pond.

So, is this a breeding pair or just a few that wandered out of the normal range?

There was one last month at Eagle Bluffs - don't know what pool but a gal I know from Columbia who is getting into photography took a photo of it.
Three days before she got a photo of a cinnamon teal in the same pool.
True dat!
