The other day at Webster, I saw a duck flying in a group of ~20 other ducks. This bird was noticeably larger than the others and had what I recall as having a large white stripe in the middle of the wings. I immediately thought, "Black-bellied Whistling-Duck," but was not 100% about it, so I did not count it.
Today however, I got views of the bird that were indisputable. I viewed the bird from ~200 yards away. It was sweet to be able to confirm that my initial suspicions were correct. And it's always nice to be absolutely 100% sure about a new life bird, which the Whistling-Duck is.
