You said you had tons of them over there EJ so it's good to see one in their native environment. :o) Having heard their call b4 I found it very distracting.
Lovely wildlife shot

Big brother's watching you :o) A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... Welcome to the last resort. :o)
Beautiful bird! I did click to hear it whistle, but apparently i have some missing plugings or something on my computer for that site, cause it didn't work. Lovely shot EJ!

After 55 years of photography I shoot for memories not perfection
What a beautiful bird and a very unique sound. I love the colors and you have captured it very well.

Before you know it a duck will fly out of the screen and perform live for us. I believe I first met this species with the Duke of Earl. What a great photo with all the greenery and The Whistler in the treetops. Good work Frogz.

It says I need more plugins to listen to the whistle. I will work on the later, but in the meantime, I will enjoy your shot of the duck. Another super duper picture, EJ.

I've never heard of a Whistling Duck or a duck that nests in a tree. Wonderful capture EJ ... the colors & detail are magnificent.

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas
Really a neat duck, didn't know they sat in trees. Fabulous capture with such clarity, colour and detail, wow. Outstanding job E J

Great color, clarity and composition. Looks a little magical. Kind of remind me of fall. I've never seen a duck in a tree.

Aah now I've seen relatives of these guys at bird reserves in London - I think they were Chinese whistling ducks. They're great aren't they - I just love the sound they make too. Terrific view of this one nestling in all that golden foliage Ed.

It must be nice to hear that in the woods, good shot EJ!
