The Superior Express -

An abundance of water fowl can be seen in this area throughout the year. This week these Black- bellied Whistling Ducks appeared to be touring a local shoreline - an unusual sight. The Black-bellied Whistling-Duck is a boisterous duck with a brilliant pink bill and an unusual, long-legged silhouette. These ducks really do have a whistle for their call. Common south of the U.S., Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks occur in several southern states and are expanding northward.
