West Indian Whistling Duck

 

The West Indian Whistling Duck can be found on most small lagoons and at the sewage lagoons on Cayo Coco. It is crazy cool to hear them calling in the early hours. They are a distinctive large waterbird between the size of a large duck and a goose.


They are nocturnal and roost during day in mangroves, wooded ponds and marshes and feeds primarily at night. Generally scarce and typically somewhat secretive. eBird
