It's that time of year! The Black-bellied Whistling Ducks are ready to nest - are you ready for them?
These ducks use the same size nest box as the Wood Duck, whose breeding season is the opposite of the black-bellied.
Black-bellied whistling ducks arrive in May and may stay through September when hunting season begins. By May the wood ducks have vacated the nest box making it available for the black-bellied ducks, also known as Mexican Whistlers.
If you are interested in providing a house for the black-bellied whistling ducks, here's a photo and a link to our website:

Thank you for caring!
