The black bellied whistling duck is still around and somewhat aloof,
although he/she has figured out the free meal angle when people come by to
feed the ducks and geese.  This was useful for determining that both claws
are present when I went by yesterday since it got the duck out of the water
and grass onto bare dirt.  When it first arrived it did not seem to
participate in any of the feeding that routinely occurs there.  Saw it with
a couple of other women about 20 minutes ago.  It has its limit when you get
too close, although sitting in the car under the weeping willow will get you
a closer look sometimes.
