This morning while I was about to water my thirsty yard, I heard the weirdest noise overhead. I looked up just in time to see a small flock of crane type birds circling overhead. They were looking for a spot to land on our neighbor's (the Kirby's) pond. They weren't birds I was familiar with and for sure I have never heard anything like them before. I grabbed my camera and quietly crept over to get a better look.

Aren't they beautiful? They are Black-bellied Whistling Ducks. They really whistle too.

I haven't heard them quack at all. Is it a duck if it can't quack? ;)
