Great pictures.
A couple years ago, I photographed a Black Bellied Whistling Duck quite a long distance away. I had never seen one before.
When I reported it, apparently it was very rare north of Atlanta. ebird gave me a full 3rd degree questioning about the time/day/location. (My wife took pictures of it, too!)
Yep they are definitely a southern duck. Common in Mexico apparently. First time I saw any was in San Antonio several years ago. I'm glad you liked them.
