floraphile Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) 31 Oct 2021 Baldwin co. AL; small seasonal pond in agricultural field. I commonly see shorebirds, herons, egrets, ducks, buteos, kestrels, Northern Harrier, and snipe here. There were 2 Killdeer and 5 immature Black-bellied Whistling ducks here when I recorded this (there had been 7 plus the mother a few days prior ? ), but none appeared to be making the call. It is the quick, fairly regular, monotone call. Could be a herp. 2021-10-31 1805 - Copyed.wav Edited November 10, 2021 by floraphile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought somebody else was hiding out in the surrounding grass. That's entirely possible. I have limited experience with the whistling ducks. In fact, it probably is something hiding in the grass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
