Black-bellied Whistling Ducks
McLean County, IL
White Oak Park
6-20-26
This was my first time seeing these in Central Illinois, although they have been reported on and off over the past several years. There were nine of them at a local park in Bloomington. The Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks have brightly colored bills and a pretty cool-looking brown mohawk-like stripe on their heads.
