Spotted Whistling Ducks

Sunday morning we went to the National Aviary on the Northside of Pittsburgh. .

“Spotted Whistling Duck (Dendrocygna guttata) is a medium-sized duck native to Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines, known for its whistling calls and pale spots on its neck and flanks. It is primarily nocturnal, feeding on plants and seeds in wetlands, and often roosts in trees during the day. This species is gregarious and can be found in flocks, nesting in tree holes. “ Wikipedia

My friend Vincie said be sure to take your granddaughter to the National Aviary. A terrific recommendation.
