The West Indian Whistling Duck is a distinctive large waterbird between the size of a large duck and a goose. Nocturnal; roosts during day in mangroves, wooded ponds and marshes and feeds primarily at night.
Generally scarce and typically somewhat secretive, particularly where hunting of this species is allowed. I would hear them early every morning when I started birding and find them foraging in the lagoon near the resort.
