Some more photos of the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks that are still hanging around a retention pond less than a 1/4 mile from my daughter’s home in Delaware.
They are considered a rare sighting for the mid-Atlantic, so naturally I check on them each time I go see my grandson. 🙂
On one occasion, there was a ruckus going on between three ducks which was interesting. They used their feet and claws when attacking each other.

Also biting. Ouch!

These four had the rest of the flock a bit upset, putting some into flight to circle and reland. Which I was thrilled to say the least! Here are my four favorite flight shots.
