Seen while walking

Hello, everyone. 

Among the native birds to this area is the Whistling Tree Duck. There is also a black one, which has black patches, I think on the wings.

They're called Whistling Ducks because instead of quacking like mallards, they make a sort of squeaky, whistling sound when they fly.

They're fairly comfortable living near people,  too.

as witness this flock we saw while out on a training walk.
