I don't think I have ever heard or heard of a whistling duck. I've been exposed strictly to quackers. But yes, you can't beat a smile, can you?

February 18, 2012 at 7:15 AM

They do have some mighty long legs. Very pretty.

Lovely mosaics!

I just want to hug that chubby one in the big photo!

February 18, 2012 at 8:56 AM

I don't think I've ever noticed any in our area. thanks.

I love ducks!! We used to live on a piece of property that was right on a man made lake. The lake was full of ducks....one morning we went out back and there were three ducks floating in our swimming pool...I'll never forget that sight. LOL LOL

Wow - such gorgeous ducks! Lovely pics.

February 18, 2012 at 10:05 AM

Great shots:)

February 18, 2012 at 10:29 AM

I agree! I love watching them too, especially when they hop out of the water and spend an eternity plucking dry each and every feather and then just hop back in as if that effort was fun.

February 18, 2012 at 11:03 AM

Wonderful shots of the birds.

February 18, 2012 at 12:47 PM

How funny! I've never heard of a whistling duck! Love the photos!

February 18, 2012 at 1:34 PM

They make me smile, too. I like their coloring.

February 18, 2012 at 3:15 PM

beautiful ducks :)

February 18, 2012 at 4:54 PM

Hi Snap, what great photos! I have only recently discovered the Whistling Duck, well two years ago really when on a holiday in San Diego when we went to the zoo. So sweet and they certainly do whistle!

February 18, 2012 at 5:43 PM

They made me smile, too. I am a fan of ducks!

February 18, 2012 at 6:22 PM

I've often wondered what tunes they whistle!

February 18, 2012 at 8:13 PM

How unusual and so pretty

their geeks are so beautiful and pinky. I don't think I have ever heard one. Our ladies quack but have all kinds of interesting tiny noises they make and Mr. Lucky just cronks, not much noise at all. I would love to see these guys. xox Corrine

You've got some great shots there! I do love ducks, there's something eminently cute about them, isn't there? Have a lovely Sunday.

February 19, 2012 at 8:51 AM

I've never heard of whistling ducks before either. Do they really whistle?

February 19, 2012 at 10:19 AM

I saw some of these on TexWisGirl's blog a while back, but I've never seen them here in Southeast Missouri... They're too cute & I'd love to hear their whistle! =)

February 19, 2012 at 11:29 AM

What handsome looking birds. Apologies for not calling by to comment very often, time just seems to get swallowed up by real life!

February 19, 2012 at 12:46 PM

Beautiful post and shots.

Regards and best wishes

February 19, 2012 at 12:55 PM

How cool is that. I don't think I've ever seen this type of duck!

February 19, 2012 at 7:15 PM

Thanks for sharing these unusual ducks. I'm going to have to Google them now to hear that whistle.

February 19, 2012 at 7:28 PM

I would love to see one of these...and hear it! How unusual! Great photos! ♥♥♥

February 19, 2012 at 7:38 PM

I've never seen that duck, they are so cute with their longer legs. Great shots, you got close.

February 19, 2012 at 7:42 PM

I'd love to hear a duck whistle! ::Jill

February 19, 2012 at 7:48 PM

They whistle? I had no idea. Your pictures are wonderful.

February 19, 2012 at 8:00 PM

Whistling ducks are new to me. And how beautiful is that shot of the duck taking off in flight.

February 19, 2012 at 8:13 PM

They are such elegant looking ducks. I have never seen any like this, nor heard any duck here in New England whistle. Such an enchanting thing.

February 19, 2012 at 8:20 PM

Omigosh, I've never seen ducks like that. How cute! Thanks for sharing at MM. :) xoxo

February 19, 2012 at 8:22 PM

I love ducks - there's always a flock at Pondside, and we're regular hosts to migrant wild ducks. I've never heard of whistling ducks, but I'd love to hear one. They certainly are different-looking, except on the water, where they are quite duck-like!

February 19, 2012 at 8:23 PM

I've heard that if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck. Never heard about a whistle. How fun! Your photos are just ducky! I know, I know. lol!
Hugs,

I love ducks!
Have a wonderful week,

February 19, 2012 at 11:10 PM

I've not seen or hear of these fellows, I will have to google and see if I can find a clip of them whistling. very cool

February 20, 2012 at 7:50 AM

Funny and beautiful birds.Have a nice week. Greetings from Romania.

February 20, 2012 at 10:43 AM

Whistling ducks. Who knew?

February 20, 2012 at 10:58 AM

What great pictures! I have never heard of a whistling duck before. I wish there would have been a sound clip so that I could have had a listen. Nicely captured!

February 20, 2012 at 11:51 AM

Beautiful pics! I love that last one. Bonus!!

February 20, 2012 at 1:00 PM

Don't they all look dressed up with their red beak and feet. V

February 20, 2012 at 6:11 PM

Are they not all oh so sweet!
