Information about the Black-Bellied Whistling Duck:
The Black-Bellied Whistling Duck – formerly called the Black-Bellied Tree Duck – is a whistling duck that ranges from the coastlines of North and Central America down into the tropical rainforests of South America. They are usually about 19 to 22 inches (47 to 56 cm) weighing 1.44 to 2.2 pounds (652 to 1,020 grams) with a wingspan from 30 to 37 inches (76 to 94 cm.) Unlike some species of duck, the males and females look fairly similar. But unlike many other ducks, they are very comfortable perching in trees, and flocks of them – as they are very social – are often seen in the branches of trees. They will also congregate in open areas such as large lawns or golf courses. It is estimated the number of Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks in the world is about 1,550,000 birds.

Artist’s notes:
The Black-Bellied Whistling Duck was completed on 6.14.2013. I recall seeing these handsome ducks – several of them – in the trees at Brazos State Park in Texas (near Houston.) I hadn’t seem them before, and I marveled at ducks that seemed as home in the trees as they did on the ground or in the water. My friend Dale Green had taken some great photos of one, and I thought I’d use them to base a drawing on.
