Paul, what cool looking ducks. What long legs they have. Is this the same thing as a Fulvous Whistling duck? Great capture btw.

Thanks Dennis, they are their own species Dendrocygna atumnalis, the fulvous is D. bicolor.

Very nice light detail and composition and a very interesting image of these cool ducks. They look like they would be comfortable in a tree with those legs. Good work!

Thanks Tupe,
I believe they are mainly south of the US, but they do occur here. I have seen them at the Salton Sea. This pic was taken in Costa Rica.

Happy New Year

Paul, I was planning a trip to Salton Sea this Month (Jan), did you see them at the Salton Sea Bird Refuge?

Lucky you, I remember it as a freshwater marsh that was some sort of a preserve, you could view from afar, I believe it was fenced off. I also remember it being on the East side to the North. There was an oasis off the main Hwy. that was definitely very interesting, lots of birds in there. There is a lot to see there, I was only there one night. Stop at the visitor center and ask where there is a duck preserve.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific, I want to go back!!!
