Field Notes
Description:
Formerly named tree ducks, the Wandering Whistling-duck has its new name because of their loud whistling calls and the whistling noise their wings make during flight. They have long necks and legs and look like a cross between a goose and a duck. They have a strong head and neck with a darker crown and hindneck. The breast contains black spotting and the feathers are mostly dark brown.
Habitat:
Sitting and standing quietly on the edge of the river at Bell Gorge.
