While Turkey hunting today 4/30/24, a flock of 8 landed in a shallow water hole in the middle of a field near Saltillo MS. Watched them thru binoculars for 10 minutes before they took flight. Absolutely no doubt that’s what they were. Cool to see
FB page Nebraska through the lens had some footage of a group of whistling ducks in the southern area probably in the middle of the state. Many people were surprised about this encounter. I hope that this move will be useful for this species and will not harm any other duck population
We have had hundreds here in my community on the northeast coast of North Carolina the last four summers. None of them successfully hatched or raised. I’ve been studying them and have only seen one successful hatch of four young and they didn’t last but one and a half weeks before they were all eaten by predators.
I have this exact nesting box. I put it on a pole in my yard near the river. Even though I have mated pairs of whistling ducks with young, they've never used it. I'm assuming I need to locate it out into the water? I have three more to put up. Any tips would be appreciated!
So about 5 or 6 month ago, I had a couple pair of whistling ducks show up in my backyard, under my feeders. So I started throwing out some cracked corn for them before you know it I had 68 and then they all disappeared.about a month and a half ago, a pair showed up with there ducklings. It was exciting and then we had a big rain storm, and I didn’t see them for a couple days. When they did come back, they only had four. It’s been fun watching them grow, up they come to my feeder every morning and late evening with there four little ducklings. and I am enjoying it so very very much.
I came to this video to learn about them, as I saw a wierd looking duck near me in southern Virginia. I looked up its characteristics and it was a black bellied whistling duck. But it said it was native to south america, florida, and texas. I wasnt sure if it was invasive or not, and couldnt find any evidence of a population their.
SE Michigan last year.. in the north bay marsh I believe there was one seen. Pretty cool watching this play out.
We have them in Wisconsin right now
Yes. Now that I watch this video I saw one on the Oconto River walleye fishing

Someone I watch on here saw some in east northern Iowa which is real far up there
They're expanding everywhere! Go to Lake Millwood in southwest Arkansas.
We have a breeding population in Southern IL as well.
Just had some in with our Geese and Ducks. We are in Harper, Kansas! Wow they are neat! Wonder why they are moving north?
Superb👍
I kid you not I had one In my pond in MN today. Didn't know what it was till saw this video.
I just had 40 land in my back yard today. Never seen or heard of them before. I’m near Florence South Carolina. None had bands on.
I live in south Florida and saw some!
Seen a group of 5 on a pond in December in NW Arkansas last year. Couldn’t believe my eyes! Never thought I’d see them 500 miles from the coast.
Beautiful!

We had a group of four on Long Island, NY this past summer. Dont know if they actually bred here or not but they stayed in the area for awhile
Saw them in Hanover Virginia.
I live in the Houston area and these things are everywhere in my neighborhood

Had a flock in Maryland this Spring.
I had 3 whistling ducks on our lake in central Missouri, about 5 years ago.
I always thought they had a cute and funny name. 😁❤️
