Hi Texbirds,
On January 19, 2012 I found a leucistic Black-bellied Whistling Duck at the
Sendera ponds (intersection of Bremner & Companeros). The Sendera ponds are
not far from Sunset Valley ponds as the BBWD flies, about 4 miles south along
Brodie Lane, southwest Austin. It makes me wonder if it might be the same bird
Robin saw at Sunset Valley.
Just for fun, here is a photo of the bird I saw. (Unfortunately I lost a
couple thousand photos awhile back so don't have the file any more. But I was
able to do a screen grab from my freebie primitive Adobe Photoshop which still
shows the thumbnail for the photo.)

This afternoon I found three black-bellied whistling-ducks at the pond at
Sunset Valley shopping center (on Ernest Robles Way) – one has a white breast.
