Black-bellied Whistling Duck at Marine Park - 28th May

An extraordinary 9 Black-bellied Whistling Ducks were found this morning at the Marine Park in Brooklyn. Despite the heavy holiday traffic they were still present at 2:45pm when I got there. Also in the marsh was a wonderful Yellow-crowned Night-Heron.

Black-bellied Whistling Ducks. Not sure when the last New York record was, but I think this has to be the highest number.

Great looking duck!
