Black Bellied Whistler. I get them in my backyard all the time. They make a cool sound.

That’s a black pot roux duck.
Some people call them Mexican squile

Had a group of 20 that had been working the area here in South Ga pitch in at the tail end of wood duck hunt and we flared them. We have been seeing them for the last 3 years throughout most of the year. I’ve taken several videos of them with their yearly offspring.

Mexican whistling ducks. There’s about 200 of them in the pond across the street from my house and they never shut up

My best friend has a lake house on 3 Mile. They are all over the place. It’s one of the only ducks I’ve never killed.

You can see thousands of them in the lakes by the capitol in BR during the winter.

On any given day the lagoons in Audubon Park are holding at least 25,000 of these. Probably a lot than that. Incredible numbers.

Dumb as a box of rocks and eat like wood duck. Had hundreds of them near my house in Houma. Be warned they still counts in your 6 duck limit even though they don’t migrate and are non-native.

I hadn't duck hunted in years but a buddy invited me to a place in SW LA this past season. We had a limit of these things in 30 minutes. I couldn't reload the shotgun fast enough or it would have been 10 minutes at most. Cleaned them and got them in the freezer. Figure they are going in a gumbo or sauce piquant later on.

We called them Mexican whistlers when I would see them on the West Bank in the refineries. Always wanted to eat one

They have gotten thick in Shreveport.

I used to see 100's of woodies right before dark. Now I see a few woodies, and hundreds of tree ducks each night.
