Index of Subjects I have never seen a Goldeneye here. C Mergansers are always here in season. Best return to the location to see if I can pin it down. I believe Wood Duck wings whistle- at least the female’s do when she leaves the nest box (not back yet this year). Thanks for the help.

These include Mallard, Black, Ring-necked, Wood, GW Teal, Hooded and C Merganser plus Bufflehead in Fall. Yesterday I heard whistling wings and Croaking. I did not see the duck(s) but believe this would be a Wood Duck. Ideas? >> >> Maybe whistling wings is not really a good ID feature for ducks. But the dabblers like Mallards and Black Ducks do not seem the “whistle” in flight. >> >> Thanks for any help here, Nancy >
