I’m looking at a pair of these walking on the pond dam 30 yards from my house in Pottsboro, Grayson County, TX at 4:30 in the afternoon. This is a first for me.

Just saw 2 in Katy, TX in a water retention pond! Thanks for the beautiful pictures! It was fun to be able to identify them!

I just saw two of these in my back yard. I live in Shady Hollow in South Austin no where near any body of water. Maybe they are just passing through.. I didn't know what they were at first but, found this site. Love all the pictures.

Last year a whistling duck was in our chicken yard for about five days. We are in the Lyndon Johnson Grasslands near Decater Texas which must be further north than they usually go. Thank you for all these great pictures.

Just saw two in my back yard in Pecan Grove Richmond, Texas. Large but they look like youngsters. 8-29-14

I appreciate your online bird pictures. They are better than most and I did not have to join a group to see them. Thanks. The black-bellied whistling duck is one I have seen many times right here in Houston. I was told that they did not travel much farther north than the Rio Grande Valley, but last year at our former home in northwest Houston, my husband and I saw a pair of them with six fuzzy yellow and black ducklings in our back yard. We tried to entice them to stay, with no luck. They hurried on through the subdivision to the nearest bayou. Now, north of FM1960, we see and hear them daily as they fly over a golf course behind our new home.
