Eric Diller: Black Bellied Whistling Duck​

Eric,

For sure this is my favorite as the bird has such splashy red curves that makes it so unusual. I'v seen how they move their necks in flight; so sensuous! Just where are you finding these birds soaring around so you can snap them?

Asher...I was at the Viera Wetlands standing in one spot. I figured I would let the birds come to me instead of me looking for them!

Great images Eric,

The Osprey would be my pick, although I'm a sucker for bird of prey images with wings splayed wide.

Is the Caracara a type of Eagle or Hawk? It's bill area seems considerably more 'robust' than the Ospreys. What is it's normal food?

Caracara's are listed under Hawks. I have seen them eat everything and anything!! The seem to steal food from other birds a lot. I have seen them eating coots, snakes, small turtles (seems to be the favorite at the wetlands), large grasshoppers, fish .....I could go on! I think they behave like a Vultures when it comes to food, ........what every is available
