I'm glad someone finally found the Whistling-Ducks in VA! They were all around
us. I have been checking some area ponds in northern VA for the past week with
no luck, though Roaches Run in Arlington seems like a good possible place.
Perhaps the best way to "get" the birds is when they are flying around at
night. I heard them in Texas and Florida this year in decent-sized flocks
starting at dusk but I only found a few at a time during the day. This link is
all I could find that has a recording of the BBWD. It plays automatically
after a few seconds.
